I get why many people are not into this series. Yeah ,it's not one of the best batman's comics, but i kind of like it, despite some of the flaws. I like that we get a more humane version of Bruce, also the fact that most of this series is spend in the cave is a great touch IMO,because it grounds the story in a good way.

I'm not crazy about Scorn and his army,because it does the exact opposite .It makes the story more grand and i dont think that fits the tone very well,but its not a game changer.

The biggest thing, that makes this issue really shine is Bruce and Alfred's relationship imo.

Per usual, Hitch is the real star here

This wasn’t a bad issue, but it had so much fighting and the fighting was just so stiff, almost? Not great.

I keep harping on the art in my reviews for this series, and the trend is going to continue here. I don't think Bryan Hitch was the right artist for this comic. I see some of my own art in his poorly rendered fight scenes. That should never happen, especially not in a book dependent on the execution of those scenes.

I'm also going to bring up Moon Knight again, because now this comic is swerving into similar territory story-wise. The last issue of Warren Ellis' Moon Knight was all about someone who tried to be Moon Knight. It ended with Moon Knight confirming he's the more loony one and reaffirming that we should all give up our Mr. Knight cosplays. What are we even setting ourselves up for with all that white? Now, I'm starting to see similar elements at play here. I really hope issue 12 isn't just Batman out-Batmaning a wannabe Batman, because that'd be very similar to and, let's be honest, not nearly as satisfying as the final issue of Moon Knight. more
