How does Waid do it?
A plan, A set up, action, explosions, loss, grief, discovery, murder, betrayal, etc - all in one book.
Samnee is just awesome in every panel.

Waid's modern masterpiece.

What a beautifully written Alfred. They really must reverse his death in the main series. His lack of presence in mainline Batman is felt each passing year.

Wow.

Snyders storytelling is simply thrilling. I love these character variants. The experiments Batman went through? Does he have powers now or will he?

His friendship with Croc resonates with me. The brutality of the experiments are as fascinating as they are soul destroying.

Also, it seems this Batman gets up to mischief with Selina in a way Prime Batman seldom more

They are actually in on the Batman gig. I've wanted a fresh Batman take for many years and Synder is delivering every issue. I just find reading it exhilarating in a way that other comics can't replicate. It's Scott Snyder, the dude is just special. That he hasn't been tapped for Holywood proper is insane to me. I'm just glad he's still doing comics at all.

Overall this arc could have been tighter and more consistent.
And Damian at times has seemed out of character.
But this is a great issue. And better than anything we’ve seen in the main Batman title in a long time. Looking forward to the finale.

I realize that having characters not age significantly over decades can lead to problems in a fictional universe, but in my opinion, the best way to deal with this strange phenomenon is to not address it at all. It's just not possible to reconcile every story with actual history, so why try at all?

The new Captain America series does try and boldly moves the reemergence of Cap from 196 more

There are a lot of service members that upset with parts of the story, and I think Chip is really pushing the envelope when it comes to trying to mirror the Steve Rogers story. However, it does start really well. Filled with action. I hate the design for the grey costume with he black star. It sucks. Hopefully we never have to see that again after next issue. I do like the conversation with Reed, more

Maybe it was the coloring, but I swear this is not Valerio Schiti's art. When I compare it to Empyre or GODS or Inferno, it's totally different. I can't put my hands on it, but this artist was really familiar.

regardless, I was surprised on how well this book was, considering how dissapointing Zdarsky's Batman final ending. I hope Zdarsky's run on Captain America will also be solid, and more

I think you are right - no critical reviews and your one user review is a shame for a character that should be a must read each month

It’s too bad because there are some great ideas in this storyline. Wally splitting himself to fight a battle is a good idea. But there are some real problems with it as well.

George, you nailed it beautifully. To me, it's investigatory nature feels more front and centre than most other modern Batman comics. You make a good point, due to its brevity with three issues - we got more frequent mysteries, resulting in more detective elements. The art is beautiful. It adds a grit that really fleshes out its mystery vibe.
