The real Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham City as Batman, but Jason Todd doesn't believe it's really him after Hush posed as Bruce for all those months. And what will this mean for Jace, the Next Batman? Just when things can't get any worse, another mysterious Batman attacks the Magistrate! Also in this issue: the fate of Damian Wayne!
There's so much to take in, look at, and love about this series. It just keeps exceeding my expectaions. Read Full Review
Dennis Culver clearly gets what comic he's writing and knows that very little matters here in the big scheme of things. This might not make 100% sense, but I definitely enjoyed the ride. Read Full Review
The truly ludicrous befuddlement of this installment of The Next Batman puts the minor confusion of Aquamen and Batgirls to shame as the quintet of Batmen wander through Gotham, taking drugs, dealing out hellfire, and hanging out with their baby mamas. Read Full Review
Future State: Gotham has struggled for a while to figure out what it wants to be about, and the seams are starting to show. We've got five different Batmen running around, and the circumstances that get them all in a position to inevitably fight feel manufactured. The characters from the other plot lines show up to remind the reader that they're still here, but otherwise seem to be waiting for something to do. This issue's main goal is mostly to set up for the big battle for the future cowl, so hopefully that payoff will be worth all this. Read Full Review
