SciFiPulse - Ian Cullen
Oct 26, 2026This was a pretty solid issue, with some nice moments between Mr Freeze, Batman and Nora. I particularly enjoyed the moment when Batman tells Freeze to help rescue a little girl before heading to his lab to activate the device that will freeze Gotham and kill the prehistoric plants threatening the city.

Fanlight Zone - Ken M.
Oct 21, 2026Batman forms an uneasy alliance with the Freezes to save Gotham in this “Bad Seeds” tie-in! Taylor adds a few layers into the dangerous trek for hope. Henry and Estouco deliver on huge moments while keeping events very grounded between an unhappy couple. A great lead-in for where “Bad Seeds” is going to finish. Read Full Review

The Batman Universe - Adam Koppel
Oct 21, 2026Detective Comics #1114 moves the "Bad Seeds" plot closer to the goal line with a ticking clock and a stunningly climactic finale. Tom Taylor's writing remains sharp, intense and witty, while guest artist Clay Mann offers stunning visuals full of energy. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Theron Couch
Oct 21, 2026Bad Seeds didn’t seem to be going anywhere fast until this issue. Detective Comics #1114 finally jumps the event’s plot forward in a serious way. Certainly that’s effective, but it’s the character drama between Nora and Victor that really elevates the issue. The art and coloring sell the underlying strength of Nora and Victor’s relationship, and it’s that relationship that makes Detective Comics #1114 a winner. Read Full Review
