HEAVY SPOILERS
I repeat myself every month but I really like this series. Is it perfect? No, in fact you can really see the seams often, but it's compelling, well constructed and it really wants to tell a story, instead of just a bunch of cool elements happening for no rhyme or reason.
And what a story. You've getting intriguing set-ups that feel natural, the character banter is fun and the reveals mostly hit. I'm intrigued about Barda, about the vampire from the future, the woman that appears in the throne room... I wasn't even that big a of a fan of Damian in this series before, I'm not even a big Damian fan. And I'd be lying if I told you I didn't find those scenes of him being cornered and alone in the forest compelling. They got me, I teared up.
And if they make RA'S AL GHUL the Batman. Holy sh*t, that's peak!
There's stuff I don't like. I still would love a better role for Wonder Woman, for example. She's fun, but stuff like Alfred lecturing her about a life of service felt a bit disingenuous (specially given that, in this series, Alfred could have told her about the vampries before she got turned and didn't, because Bruce told him not to).
But in general, I'm loving this. more

Excellent. This series is honestly the best current Elseworld story DC is publishing. By far actually. Compelling, intriguing and without losing sight on character work.
I have a theory on who the new Batman is going to be that I think I may love.

Keeps being good month to month. And there's been plenty already.

I like the battle between Alfred and Diana and some of the dialogue is really good here. Then it gets confusing. The artist doesn't know how to lay out the action while directing attention to important factors. I still have no idea why they melded Aquaman and Deathstroke, but this is also confusing. I'm not sure what happens during the fight with Damien and the other vampires. He throws some kind of grenade which goes off several minutes later, killing Batwoman, but leaving him, Raven, and Cassie unscathed. Too confusing. If anyone knows what happened here, please let me know.

Hot take: I actually think Matthew Rosenberg vision on DC vs Vampires is more interesting and compelling compared to James Tynion IV.
