I generally really like Chip's work. This storyline needs to move along. We get it. Batman is fractured and broken and has been for a VERY loooong time. The Dark Knight Zur was cool, but let's wrap this up and move on to the Vandal Savage storyline, which could be great. This seems directionless hopefully we have a great payoff.

It's Batman versus The Joker in their most brutal fight of all time. But wait...Batman is also battling a legion of himself! What has Zur done? And who will walk away? The brutal Mindbomb continues!

This is a Matrix-Terminator mix. I liked this series - more action than Nice House on the Lake. So something must be done now to eliminate the end of the world. I can't wait for the 2nd arc. The art in this series is also outstanding.

Decent read, and the concept of the Joker and what he has done is interesting. Can there be way too many bat characters? Yes, yes, there can! Also, how dependent is everything on the Joker? Even Chip's Batman Arc, which was interesting, tied back to the Joker. At least he did something very different.
