Only bought it for the Worlds Finest set up but ending up reading the whole issue. Really liked the art in the first story and even though I had no idea what was going on I enjoyed it. Second story was ok didn’t impress me in any way but I also had no idea what was going on. The Worlds Finest story was great of course. Mark Waid and Dan Mora can do no wrong when it comes to Batman and Superman.

There isn't much more to be said about this issue that hasn't already been said by others who loved the book. It has everything. Morrison callbacks, Waid callbacks. When ZEA calls Robin, "Chum" I just started hearing a more gruff Adam West in my head. The action is there for the people who don't like to actually read and it's beautiful. Batman and Robin with lightsabers! Never have I known I needed something so much until I witnessed it. Even if people criticize this for being unoriginal or simply playing off of the ideas of older writers it's just so much fun and is exactly what those people have been clamoring for. Older Batman. Batman with flaws. Batman with a family. Sons and daughters that actually have meaning. And how could you not get a little choked up at the end? Bruce's thoughts of his family and the entrance of the strongest friend he has. Perfect. Sure this is all brute force right now but we know Zdarsky is a great storyteller. I hope we get more from Batman in a detective roll but we also have Ram V's Tec for that. All in all, it's a great time to be a Batman fan. more

Don’t adore the cat woman side story, but the main Batman story is so great. Got genuine chills from the last two pages. Also it’s great to see the relationship between Bruce and Tim being so loving, it’s always been one of my favorite things about the characters but it’s not very often that a writer explores it.

Enjoyed parts, but not really a necessary issue besides the “cliffhanger”

Fantastic. Zdarsky’s writing is so great that I often find myself sucked in and reading an entire volume in one sitting. With gorgeous art to accompany the engaging story, I don’t think there was a better way I could have spent my morning.

Prefer stories like this one or the first issue of this series where it’s just fun Batman adventures and they aren’t trying to cram in new characters to the universe. Did not care for that HBO max plug though and it’s ironic now since they are working on selling the new Batman animated property they had in development.

Great issue that takes you through emotions. Not sure what to make of the guardian angel aspect just yet but this was a proper landmark issue.
