"I Am Batman"
So, this is a second issue and we are already changing the artist? Ok, whatever, I keep reading.
The story's decent, there is some cool Bat-action done by the NOT Batman and, surprisingly, I find myself entertained. Unfortunately, I kept reading further.
The issue was quick to remind me that a comic book cannot be just entertainment nowadays with gems like: "He doesn't deserve sympathy just 'cause he's a cute white kid" (I just love how the word white has this whole pejorative meaning to it these days) and "That's why it's called white privilege". Gotta love that race bulls*it being inserted into everything today.
From there it was a pretty straightforward road downhill.
Fear State continuity is completely out of control. This comic makes it feel like it has been going for some time now. Long enough for crazy people to put militias together. While in Batman is feels like it's all happening on one night. Another interesting nugget is that Lucius Fox and his company, I'm assuming it's Wayne Enterprise (gotta love that Wayne-Joker money) backed the Magistrate. Wasn't Simon Saint and his company, Saint Industries, behind the Magistrate? I could swear that's what Tynion was telling me in Batman.
To end, we again get some nice portion of Bat-action done by the NOT Batman, but this time with a cherry on top, in Jace doing his best to send mixed signals. So you don't look like the Batman but you are Batman? Just so we're clear, no, you're NOT, but maybe stop running around in another man's fatigues. That should help you with the confusion.
So, to summarize:
- the issue started rather well, but couldn't keep it up throughout the whole thing;
- it went for the low-hanging fruit of race-baiting;
- the art changed already but it's still quite good;
- and the NOT Batman is still NOT Batman. more
