It was nice to actually see the Batfamily in action. Points to the writer for actually remembering them. But nothing really happens. We get a sense that the robot is yet another Batman plan that has backfired, but that’s it.

By writing for the trades, where you read everything at one sitting, it kills the suspense for monthly reads. We don’t know the stakes because information is being kept for later issues, so we don’t get the suspense. So all the action is just place holding.

Also, I found the art lacking. A couple of times I thought Bat’s body being awkwardly drawn. He appeared to me to be a doll who was posed imperfectly. Sort of an uncanny valley thing. But that could be me.

The end result is sort of a lifeless story where we know something is coming down the road, but in the meantime we are spinning our wheels.

Not crazy about this.

Or I could be wrong. more

Sorry but this writing is very pedestrian and very decompressed.
More whiney-crybaby Batman, and now Tim Drake is a cranky amateur that gets defensive when he's called out for being sloppy in the field. Zdarsky’s version of Bruce is very tiresome with all his pissing and moaning about how he couldn't marry Selina. Feels like we’re revisiting Tom King’s run all over again. This version of Bruce is also a poor fighter. He gets beaten like a cheap drum.


As for the Morrison Batman pandering at the end...

PUH-LEEEEZE!!! What the hell is this? a discount version of Batman RIP? more

If you want to push my buttons, have a plot depend on people being stupid.

And boy, Bats was stupid in this issue. Penguin is mad at the 1 percent and will kill anyone who inherited more than $5 million. That’s a lot of people. $5 million really isn’t that much money. But there’s going to be some big billionaire ball, and Bruce might not qualify because he doesn’t have the bucks. He might even be worth $5 million and thus be off penguin’s radar.

Bruce is working with Tim and Tim only. No Batgirls or other sidekicks. Bruce wrangles an invite. Clay face is faking being Penguin, who is dying of mercury poisoning BECAUSE HE EATS A LOT OF FISH. HE’S A PENGUIN AND HE EATS FISH, GET IT? GET IT?

Tim is shot in the neck and an artery is hit. Bruce is forced to take him to a real hospital because Tim will bleed out. He finds Pengyat hosp. And Penny kills himself to frame Batman.

Cats is sleeping with some dude and gives Bruce an awkward brush off. The backup is about how some robot hires Selina to track down Pengy’s never mentioned until now kids.

Why is this all dumb? They hold a billionaire ball when Pendy announces he is going to kill billionaires? There appears to be no extra security. Billionaires show up instead of hiding in their panic rooms? That’s three deeply stupid plot points in one event. Tim is almost killed and all that merits are a couple of panels?

Selina is made to be unlikable on purpose. Man, old editors really don’t get that we like MJ and Selina and said romances with their respective boos.

The issue ends with a robot being activated in the bat cave. Let me guess, another bats backup plan backfires. We have never seen that before - execept for brother eye and bat’s take out justice league plan and azreal as his replacement and joker using Bruce’s weapons and fortune to kill thousands.

So Bruce is prepared for everything has no plan for getting his fortune back? But the new writer is going to show us he doesn’t need money. He will win in the end despite walking into trap after trap? His money isn’t being used to help people. So no charity or efforts to clean up public corruption. The dialog actually had bats saying Gotham wants to die. Man, talk about being depressing.

This issue is more dumb plotting and grim dark writing. We are shown again what a failure Bruce is. Things are worse than ever, and he had nothing. No Alfred, no Selina. He lost huge resources that could help thousands. His enemies do what they want.

The artis generic, and is it me or does Tim appear to be more thin and almost feminine?

I do not like this and the latest writer is just giving us more of the same. This is not the new, bold plot that he thinks it is.

This sucks.

Or I could be wrong.

The old frame-up plot is literally 100 years old in illustrated stories.
I can't even count the number of times it was done to Batman.
But Canadian writer Chip Zdarsky and some reviewers believe it is fresh, new, and innovative.
Can't wait until they discover bell-bottom pants.

And of course, The Penguin would massacre the wealthy and then take poison (huge eyeroll). />Maybe The Joker can take a trip to Mars in the next issue.
You know this isn't Spider-Man, right, or the primarily Sci-Fi Marvel Comics?

If you enjoy it, great, it is your money and you have the right to spend it on whatever you want. Even the crazy 1950s Sci-Fi monsters that Batman of that age fought had some coherency in stopping crime for the most part. Here it is all suspend disbelief because we have a good artist. Like the Gotham comics haven't tried that for a good 10 years already. Worked so well.

One thing for certain: whether the writer is Mariko Tamaki or Chip Zdarsky, the Batman Gotham editors at DC are convinced that pitiful Batman Bruce Wayne is dumb as dirt. At some point, people will just drop off spending money on that attitude. Maybe it works for Spider-Man fans. But definitely not for long-time Batman fans. Bruce Wayne is really not Peter Parker... or Matt Murdoch. The dumb-guy Bruce Wayne storylines are really just grating.

And to Chip Zdarsky's comment: "How essential is money to Batman?"
Is Chip writing DC Comics for free now? Is WBD's DC Comics giving away their $5-$6/issue comics? Is the Gotham editorial team working for free now? And most of all Warner Bros Discovery, which is roughly $57,000,000,000 (yes, that's billion BTW) in debt... how essential is money to WBD?

Update - and - those claiming Daredevil is just a "Red Batman" - also from Chip Zdarsky, and I quote and source:
--- And from Chip Zdarsky himself:"They're VERY different characters. I can't even fathom thinking that they're close to the same. Like ... what about them is similar? I know I joke that they're two brooding guys on gargoyles, but really that's it for overt similarities!"

Zdarsky continuing the tradition of a sad mopey Batman.

But this time Batman is an idiot that walks right into letting himself get framed for murder.

..... whoopsie-poo!

tom king is the most overrated comic book writer of all time. I read this series just so I can actually have hte credentials to critique it, and wow. Usually I say critics are right, but I dont know how critics can give this a positive review.

All the flashbacks to the past and flashforwards to the future dont matter at all, it all felt like a waste of time. This 12 issue series should have been a single one-shot to be honest. The dialogue is clunky and the art is mostly good.

overall, dont read this series. This entire series is a 3 out of 10, and thats because of the art. more

I wish there was an option to give it a Zero because this is absolute shit. Tom King doesn't know how to write Batman or Catwoman, DC seriously needs to stop giving him Batman book. the timelines and characters are complete shit in this. He literally has no regards for anyone of the bat family. I said before for him bat family is just Bat, Cat and Helena and you can see here he doesn't even bring other family for the wedding just brings Clark and Louis. Seriously could fuck up a batman book more than this. Finally this shit show is over, if there is anyone who ruined Bat-Cat then it is Tom King. more

If I’m being honest, the score of 1 isn’t deserved for this issue, but it reflects my feelings on the entire series. Such a pointless and worthless series. I kept going even after I could see it was not good because I had gotten that far, but wow. When King is on, it’s good. When he seems like he is too proud of himself, it is this.

UHG!!! Who let's this idiot write Batman???

Such painfully pretentious melodramatic garbage!!

Art-wise- Flat, underdeveloped, rushed. But why bother wasting time fine-tuning art for a story this bad.

This is NOT Batman or Catwoman! I absolute hate the dialogue that King writes for these two. I'm not even sure who these imposters are, but i don't like them.
<br/>Keep Tom King AWAY from Batman!! more

That was it? Call Seinfeld, we finally got a comic about nothing. It took a year and a half to complete. And damned if I can say what it was about. Maybe I am too stupid, but Catwoman kills the Joker in the future? So what?

Andrea raised a kid the Joker stole? What was that even about? The art was nice, but King relied on all his tricks - using public domain writing to carry his load, depending on art to fill the space without actually having said art move at a fast pace to make for an exciting story.

This whole series was a waste of time and money.

Or I could be wrong. more

This issue represents all that bothers me about modern comics. Nothings happens and characters have no voice of their own. They are pawns in a plot.

Basically Bats is in fake country where he was fighting Luthor’s Batman Inc. The character Abyss, about whom we have been told nothing, is scaring villains to get info. It turns out that this Abyss is a fake and is the female cop who was helping Batman in previous issues before the story was interrupted by the big crossover. The cop has parents who were killed and she captures some guy to get him to tell her where the bodies are buried. Abyss has such a rep that she gets the info.

It appears that she is going to kill someone and asks Bats if he is going to stop her. He says no, if he stops her now, she’ll just kill later, she has to stop herself. She does, joins Batman Inc. there will be a series in September.

Problems. They go back to Bats reliving the death of his parents. Again. There is a flashback to Bats staring in the cell of his parents’ killer. Spoiler, he realizes killing is wrong and doesn’t do it.

I am so sick of visiting the Waynes’ death. While I am ranting at the kids on my lawn, having the movie they see be Zorro is too on the nose. Zorro is fun and having that be an inspiration for Bruce to be dour Batman doesn’t track. It also reminds us that Batman is basically a Zorro ripoff, in part at least.

Also we don’t know this female cop. She has no personality, no sense of self. Why should we care about her? Also Bruce is broke, but has the money to fly private jet to another country? He finances Oracle? It’s like when Denny O’Neil halved Superman’s power. It didn’t stick, powers got ramped up anyway. Same with Bruce’s wealth. Batman is rich. That is a fundamental aspect of the character. (Ripped off from Zorro), deal with it DC.

This whole Williamson run shows how DC is writing Batman poorly. Prediction rant. Chip Z’s new villain who he says will be a mental and physical challenge to Batman is just Bane redone. I read an interview and Chip said the same things about his villain that was said about Bane - 30 YEARS AGO, STAY OFF MY LAWN YOU DAMN KIDS.

Not a good run.

Or I could be wrong. more

The rating is just meant to be neutral because I haven’t read the other parts of the story. I will say the art lacks flow, making the action static. They spend 4 pages getting a nook to say there is a clue in Central City.

Spade gets jumped, but that leads to nothing. I don’t know who respawn is. I thought for a second that he was a Todd Macfarlane character. He is a Damian clone and is killed, I guess. All I know is that I don’t care.

Also, Batman is using his jet to fly wherever he wants to go. So let me get this straight. He is too poor to buy a home that gives Bruce Wayne privacy and has to live in a row house where neighbors can monitor his movements, but he has the cash to keep a private jet fueled and ready to go at anytime. This includes doing the maintenance that private jets require - parts replacement, fuel, a hidden location, maintenance crews, etc.

That’s the problem when you try to get “real” in an unreal situation. You end up splitting the difference and that negates both your premises - fantastical situations like a 600 year old villain being killed (Ra’s is not dead forever, we all know that) and brutal reality (how does Batman operate, pay for things).

I can’t wait for the status quo to reset and Alfred comes back.

Don’t care about this crossover, will glad when it is over. Don’t like this storyline or what I have read of it. Oy.

Or I could be wrong. more

Don’t care about this issue. Part of some huge plot that I am not following. The art was nice, but the story ends with Bats kissing Talia.

Caution old man rant coming. You kids stay off my lawn.

My. Problem is that Talia is a terrible character. Terrible in both senses evil and poorly written. At first she. Hangs around her dad and calls Bats beloved and helps Bags escape death traps. She is pretty but immoral. She “loves” Bats but only opposes. Her father’s plans because of her high school rush. She does not oppose them because they are genocidal. I have never seen her protest all the thousands of people she sees Ra’s kill in front of her. It’s Beverly Hills 90210 reasons.

Then decades later she is independent.now she has her own agenda. Now she kills people and has her own evil organization to do her bidding. Her plans aren’t moral,yet Bats is supposed to be attracted to her? Don’t say because she beautiful he can’t help himself. That’s a child’s reason, not something a grown man with any emotional awareness would say.that’s the problem wiypth DC, since Miller, they’ve been writing Bats as a psycho. I miss the guy who is smart, responsible and really wants to help.not someone who is just indulging anger issues.

Don’t care about this issue.

Or I could be wrong. more

Great art, but a story that is all this happens and then this happens. Unfortunately nothing happens organically.

Batman wins because it is his book. We don’t see him develop his plan and we don’t get any clues. We are just told, not shown that Batman and his League of Ethnic stereotypes were on the ball and saw through Luthor’s plan. apparently they didn’t work with Batman but Bats and the league still managed to figure things out separately.

Luthor’s plan was to create his own league of Batman. But I only read this I issue once, so many of the details may have escaped me. But what does Luthor’s plan get him? Control of bat groups around the world? So?

And Luthor’s is told by the league that they never cashed his checks? That is what detectives call an important detail, and Luthor never noticed. I also missed what Abyss was all about. He could blind Bats until Bats pulled out his anti-abyss tech and got his sight back?

Again, I am glossing over details, but no bread crumbs were laid out so that what happens in this issue makes sense. We are just told that everyone figured out stuff off page. In the golden and silver age, writers would actually leave clues that paid off. Example in one Batman Superman tale from the 1950s, Batman busts a crook’s alibi based on the shoes the crook is wearing. The crook said he was an electrician doing a job and that was why he was in the area when a jewel heist took place. Bats noticed his shoes had leather soles, not rubber, which is what electricians wear. Bats also figured out where the diamonds were hidden, in the bullets of the suspects’ guns. Superman searched the ship with X-ray vision and could not find the jewels. Bats figured the lead in the bullets made a great shield to hide the jewels.

Now that is clever, and that was playing fair. Showed what Bats brought to the table. None of that here. I will say that I liked that Bats learned the importance of teamwork in this issue. It as “after school special” obvious but made for a nice change from “Stay out of my city, I work alone except for my 47 Robins and Batgirls, who I never use in my big events.”

So nice ideas but bad execution. The status quo of Lex knowing who Batman is, but not actually doing anything Green Goblin with this info also bothers me.

Or I could be wrong. more

Like other critics, the 3 is for the art. The story is so bad that it lowers what should be a higher art score.

The “story” has a whole issue to progress, but the whole of the issipue could be reduced to one page. It spins its wheels and is lost thanks to a confusing multi-timeline format. And King has totally forgotten about Phantasm.

To be fair, so had I, but remembered her because I recalled the previous covers. This issipue and series is a mess. What is DC thinking. Seriously, how could professionals put this out and charge money? Also, it’s late.

And I am not wrong. more

Again, this all setup. Batman escapes from morgue by being transported in a body bag. Police are so stupid that they don’t look for a body sized man in a body bag. That’s bad writing. Batman and the female detective talk about Bat’s weakness and we learn he is aware of some problem with his eyes. That sounds dumb to me, jumping to a conclusion without evidence. It be his brain or some sort of spell.

Given all Batman has experienced, jumping to a conclusion without evidence is dumb. We learn Lex believes there must be a Batman and it might as well be him. I guess he got tired of saying there must be Superman and it might as well be him.

Bruce does a lot of yelling at Bats Inc. TELL ME!! That strikes me as being like a petulant child and not being the world’s greatest detective, so bad characterization.

Turns out Bats Inc. serves Abyss, whoever that is. So two issues in, we don’t know much and the action is dull, the characterization poor and the mystery, well let’s just say, uncompelling. The art was nice, but I am not a fan of Bruce being drawn as shouting and looking like a spoiled child angry who is angry that no one will play with him.

This Batman isn’t cool or smart. He is taken by surprise at every turn and will only win because it is his book, not because the writer has created a clever plot and shown us how Batman outwits the enemy and unravels the plan.

Not a fan. Or I could be wrong. more

I've kind of run out of metaphors to say how bad this is. Just stupid ramblings on and on, Catwoman's voice is still just awful, nothing here works. There's the beginning of a revelation here, like that's all that matters, but I just cringe at everything else.

When it was first announced, I honestly thought it was going to be a romance series setting up their marriage. You know, like what Rogue and Gambit had in Marvel.
I thought that would be pretty awesome even if it still has Tom as the writer. Finally a permanent status-quo change for once and we get to see Batman as a husband and all the interesting dynamics with Catwoman within the bat-family. So excited!
...
And then it turned into this weird crap. Why is Batman even in these book, and Selina is acting like a bitch and complaining that Helena is not behaving properly??? It feels the writer wanted to focus on Catwoman and her relationship with Batman but for some reason its busy in her relationship with Joker. more

Tom King is just an awful writer and he continues to prove it here. Beautiful artwork by Clay Mann is just wasted on this garbage.

Tom King seems like the type of man unable to admit his mistakes. He screwed up the wedding between Batman and Catwoman, he continues to screw it up in the Batman/Catwoman book but somehow he still seems to insist "I got this, guys, I know how to write these two characters as a couple". We should all tell him "No, dude, you absolutely don't, let it fucking go!". And the saddest thing is he really has the most terrible voice for Catwoman. I'm sure in his head he thinks he is eMpOwErInG her but all he makes her is an imbecile character. And it seems like he has a weird fetish with old superheroes, I really don't get that.

Honestly I would've rated this lower if not for the fact that this was the last DC work of John Paul Leon, God bless his soul. more

All of King’s usual tropes. Public domain works doing heavy lifting? Check.
Characters talking at each other instead of to each other? Check.
Split time line that makes it hard to follow a linear story. Double check.
Weird Joker/Catwoman relationship. Check.
Quick cut scenes that fail to give a story room to breath and ruin any sense of coherence? Check.
Being told instead of shown what characters feel? Check.

This is another story where King shows an entire lifetime in one issue, which means we don’t learn about character holistically. King basically says “subtext becomes text” here it is. The result is a bland story that doesn’t stick because points are briefly touched on without enough time being spent on any life-defining moment.

King also got too cute with the symbolism. Selina is shown as a baby discarded in a trash strewn ally. She dies walking down an ally after a mugger kills her for her jewelry. Get it? Her life is a complete circle. Also, a healthy white baby found in an ally would not grow up in an orphanage. She would make the news and be adopted so fast, your head would spin.

Once again King shows us his own special continuity, and I remain unimpressed or drawn in. It reminds me of a blind person describing a statue. No matter how talented that blind person is, you are going to get an incomplete picture that lacks a certain life.

I won’t talk about the art. The circumstances are such that it would be in poor taste to comment.

Not a good issue.

Or I could be wrong. more

This isn't a bad issue, but it is an issue whose plot tropes push my buttons. I am especially tired of the villain saying "you'll see things my way and we'll be allies" cliche.

The issue starts with Batman, the female detective and Lex Luthor talking. Lex explains why he funds Batman Inc. now that Bruce Wayne is broke. Sorry, I mean living in reduced circumstances.

This is strike one. We have never really been shown what exactly those circumstances are and how they work. Is he broke. Is he living trust fund check to trust fund check? If Lex can say that the Wayne fortune was lost with the stroke of a clown's actions, how is that money lost. That's the thing about electronic money. It's not real. Deals that are done via unsrupulous means are easily undone. If it is public knowledge that the Joker stole the Wayne fortune, then the Wayne fortune really hasn't been stolen.

We also find out that the police force in the city Batman is operating in has a shoot on site order for any Batman. They shoot and Bats escapes. He later meets Lex at restaurant, saying that he got the subtext of Lex's talking about Bruce Wayne. Lex shows off by emptying a $12 million bottle of wine on the floor. I will admit this is an interesting way of dick measuring.

Lex also chides Nightwing for giving away his fortune without a plan. Bruce grabs Lex and then disappears. But the gist is that Lex says the world needs a Batman and Lwz will fund a Batman Inc. (I always thought Batman Inc was a stupid idea. The liability issues alone could bankrupt Bruce Wayne, even when he had his fortune. It also gave criminals a convenient target. Have Batman Inc troubles, cut off their funding by hitting Wayne Enterprises offices. Bankrupt the company, end of problem).

Bruce then goes to the morgue steals the body from the police and is engulfed in darkness after examining the body. A strange person attacks Batman in the special dark where Batman can see his body, but nothing else. The stranger explains he comes from Batman and hacks Bats up. We are left with the lights on and the detective standing over the battered Bruce body.

So this issue ticks a couple of my boxes - the we're the same one and the let's expose Batman Inc one. The whole Luthor saying Bruce will come around to my way of thinking just doesn't hold up. We all know that's not true. I also hate the hero and villain team up angle. It's a cliche and I like superhero stories that are about the hero. The villain is just flavoring. When you concentrate too much on the villain, it makes the hero look lame. Lex has kept his fortune, destroyed Gotham and been elected president. All under the noses of the heroes. It makes them look lame and ineffective.

I also don't think the writer knows what preserving a crime scene actually means. Bruce using gas to escape the cops shooting at him automatically contaminates the scene. The various shell casings and debris from firing bullets also contaminates the scene. The cops walking on the carpet contaminates the scene. You get my point.

So to sum up, Lex knows Bruce is Bats. Lex rubs Bruce's nose in the fact that Bruce lost the family fortune by emptying a $12 million bottle of wine on the floor. Batman Inc. is under Lex' control and they are wanted for murder, and yet another killer is on the loose because he somehow is created by Batman. We also see that Lex is able to buy whole police departments. He, apparently, knows how to get a proper bang for his bucks.

Am I the only one who has a problem with these issues I've brought up? The whole Bruce is living under reduced circumstances seems to have no lasting impact. He can still fly a bat plane around the world. That has got to cost a small fortune, just buying fuel and maintaining the plane with parts and storing the plane.

The whole Batman creates villains is one, counterproductive because when he does that, it really shows us that Batman does more harm than good. I don't think that's the message DC wants to present. Two, it's been done to death, starting in the early 1950s, when DC gave the Joker the Red Hood origin. I read that when I was 12 and I didn't like it then and I still hate it now. Given all the people the Joker has killed (it must be in the tens of thousands) that means Batman has vast amounts of blood on his hands. Again, I don't think that's the message DC wants to present.

I liked the art. Didn't like the fact that Luthor could push Bruce's buttons and have Bruce grab Lex by the throat. Again, shows that Bruce is out of control and easily manipulated by the villain. Another message that DC probably shouldn't be presenting.

So I stuck in the middle. I suspect I am not going to like this story for reasons I've stated.

But I could be wrong. more

Let me sum up what happens. Selina wants to get out of town, goes to the Penguin, who then turns her in to her own daughter. The end.

An entire issue that can be summed up with one sentence. What King doesn't do is actually explain why Selina had any sort of relationship with the Joker. He certainly doesn't make a compelling argument for why anyone would actually want to bring the killer of this mass murderer to court.

With his confusing three time period structure, I get lost. Now I am old and the kids won't get off my lawn, but I am not stupid. I don't appreciate having to try to figure out what is happening when. I don't mind having to concentrate on getting the full subtext, but I draw the line at basic story structure.

This issue tells us nothing new and just keeps repeating beats that have already been hit in earlier issues.

They've switched artists, and as I have mentioned in the past, when they switch artists in the middle of a story, I don't like it. It's a personal thing. Your mileage may vary and that's fair enough. But for me this has a bad effect on my enjoyment of the story. But it is unfair to blame the fill-in artist. The work was fine, but the rhythm of the overall story has been disrupted in my eyes.

The flashbacks that are supposed to illuminate the past relationships of the villains don't do the job, and teasing some secret Joker/Catwoman thing, whatever that thing might be, gets very tedious after eight or nine issues. It certainly doesn't make me want to read more to see what I am being teased with.

It's been a year since this book's launch. We have had delays and this absence has not made the heart grow fonder. DC get it together. Also, I am really tired of King's bag of tricks. Hiding information to confuse (not whet the appetite of the reader.) The lack of dialog. The use of public domain poetry and songs to carry the plot forward. The concentration on mental health issues. I know you have PTSD from your role in the fight against terrorism, but these are comics. They're supposed to be enjoyable and fun and have adventure. I don't like tough slogs to read that lecture me on the importance of mental health.

But that's me, and to be fair if one person is driven to get help, there is value in that. But at least be subtle about the afterschool special aspects.

Not a great issue and not a great run is what I'm saying.

Or I could be wrong. more

You could tell King was losing it big time when he wrote this, this is giving Bendis a run for his money at writing incoherent bullshit. Honestly, as a parody, this works. It's like a superhero porn parody and there is a scene where if you read it, you certainly can't contradict me. Unfortunately, that's not at all what this book wants to be, this actually takes itself very seriously, so the end result is a nightmare. Oh, and inside the book King refers twice to the couple as Cat/Bat, because like I already said so many times, this isn't actually a Batman book, he's just in the title for helping sales.

And in case anyone was hoping that after his awful second half of the run and this disaster, DC learned anything and will stop giving Tom King Batman books, well, you'd be wrong. DC just gave him another Batman mini. Let's just hope that when he writes that, his therapist will be in the best possible shape. more

I keep trying and this book just continues to be awful. I shouldn't be surprised because everything Tom King writes is garbage, but the art by Liam Sharp is also awful, which surprises me.

Look, I don't read these just to bash them and complain that Tom King is a hack writer. I read these because I want to be surprised you know? That maybe all my time that I've poured in to this series wasn't for nothing.

After 9 issues I'm still waiting to be surprised.

Art was bad. I really didn't like it.

Writing? Eh. Just. Eh.

4/10 Tom, please do better. more

The art wasn’t for me, but the story, or lack of one was a bit annoying. This feels like cloonan and Conrad trying to tap into the Batgirl of Burnside vibe from 2016-ish, but that ended up getting old fast so I don’t know why they would go there.

And this they are hitting the new target? art is ugly and what follows. I don't understand why putting everyone with freckles, is it to make them look more childish? well we all know that DC thinks that making all books homogenized for readers of thirteen will be bought for all. The story is very random, personally I got bored.

Awful art and an uninteresting story.

Bad art, and a very bland story.
