Interesting premise. I believe this is the only series in which Bart Allen has taken up the Flash mantle.

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 h elping 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 only things Dan slott is good at are being a short fat bald HIDEOUS gremlin

visually confusing on the first death and heavily ripping off Alien for the rest of it.
