    So, if it werent for that one disappointment that I mentioned above, I would have given this comic . But despite that, this is still the best Batman comic that Ive read in a long time, and I cant wait to see Mr. Robinson on more Batman storylines in the future. Read Full Review

    So, eight issues finished, and where does this leave Batman and readers? Well, Robinson gave us a great mystery, that reestablished Batman into the DCU, as well as brought back a classic villain. Where Batman goes from here is in the hands of Morrison and Dini, but "Face the Face" was a wonderful story that goes does as one of Batman's greatest adventures. Read Full Review

    Batman #654 was an anti-climactic ending. Compare this 8 issue storyline with the 8 issue storyline over in Superman and Action Comics. The Superman storyline was much more entertaining and had a fantastic ending. This Batman storyline wasn't as good of a read and this ending just fell flat. And I'm a huge Batman fan who has never liked Superman. The good news is that Morrison takes over with the next issue and I fully expect it to be a great read. Read Full Review

    As a glorified but forgettable fill-in, "Face The Face" is merely mediocre; as the launching point for Batman's OYL stories, it's awful. Let's hope Morrison and Dini do better with their respective titles. Read Full Review

    The end is a little bit rushed and I'm not sure if the chosen character for mastermind is the right decision.On the other hand you feel sympathy for heroes and villains and their motives are totally clear.

    Oh, a story about a guy pulling the stings behind the scenes, framing another guy, how original. That Bruce-Tim moment was nice tho
