I'm reminded of the Joker war. Tynion is repeating himself with the Batman overcome with toxins and being out of commission for a certain amount of time stuff. It was pretty average. I didn't even bother to Read "I am the latest Batman wannabe" since like with DC's attempt to change Superman to keep up with their stupid Future State crap, I'm also going to pass on their Batman attempt as well.
