Flat arc with a flat ending. The villain is not only uninteresting but downright stupid and ridiculous, IMO taking away from the mythos behind the Joker. There is the rehashed "Batman can't be happy" trope for the hundredth time and unnatural dialogue with Selina randomly speaking of "judgements" and "feeling safe," which serves no purpose other than to tease whatever absolutely nonsensical drama that will form between Bruce and MU Selina in the coming issues after this one. The most interesting thing about this issue are the memberberries, but they are ultimately a shallow way to make people go "I clapped when I saw thing I recognize!" Was hoping this run would stick the landing better but it didn't.

If a 5/10 is utterly mediocre than this is definitely subpar. more

This issue reiterated points already made. The Omni verse needs a Batman. After defeating the enemy du jour, this earth’s Selina kicks one-handed Bruce through the portal and he meets all the other Bats in all the other earths. Even get shark repellant from Adam West Bats and later uses it against a laughing fish shark. Silly, but I give points for style.

In one of the trips, Bruce gets an artificial hand and eventually gets back to “our” Earth. Does he now have an artificial hand? Will we see it in other books? Don’t know but doubt it. So what does it matter? When Peter David gave Aquaman. Hook hand, that stuck until an entire reboot of the universe.

I guess I am disappointed. The theme of even without Batman monsters would exist was literally said out loud. No points for being subtle. Meantime, story opportunities were thrown away. We don’t see other characters react to no Bruce. We don’t see Bruce react to losing his family. No reaction to losing his hand. Is he afraid he won’t be as handy? Will he be more (h) armless (see what I did there). Supposedly earthshattering events didn’t matter to the characters, so why should it matter to me?

Didn’t like the arc, but I could be wrong. more

Dc is dead

After the previous two issues Rosenberg has raised his bets, I liked this installment full of action and answers, although it remains to be seen how the hell Jason and his zombies will solve all this chaos.

It's so nice to read a comic and just get excitement and entertainment, with a bit of drama but all this free of politics, pamphlets, forced inclusions etc etc. A very nice read.

Esto fue realmente agradable, emocionante realmente mola.
Mientras las migajas sobre los involucrados detras de la resina se esparcen en un excelente flasblacks, tenemos momentos de gran emoción en el presente.
No puedo esperar a saber a donde nos dirigirá Mat, aun que con las solicitudes creo que tengo una idea.

I have had great doubts with this series due to the writer, I doubted that it would be good, I refused to sign up for the series, much less to do the double purchase (digital and physical) that I used to do with some issues of DC, however this number I I really liked it to the degree that yep, it will be the only DC comic series I subscribe to this year, as long as the quality is maintained.

The way Jason confronts Batman with hard truths and still tells him what Bruce really means to him, just ouch. This was something that I hoped Zdarsky would write that would give it depth and take canon and read it and not cleanse himself of it just to say that Jason is an indiscriminate killer and mostly out of the blue.
Rosenberg and I have had a difference because of this, however the man is doing well and I give him credit. more

Hace tiempo que no leía un comic bueno de esta editorial y este numero lo fue. Tal vez no en su totalidad, sin embargo y en comparación de lo que se viene haciendo fue realmente bueno.

I'm not something you bulge. I'm not a weapon. You raised me. You were a father to me and you brought me into this world of yours and all I got was pain, and death, and the constant reminders that I'll never measure up...
I made Mistakes because I was scared, and I was angry, and I was hurt. You Know Why? Because the man who raised me wasn't there when I needed him.
But I'm fucking trying here. So Now I'm trying to make right what I've where on my own and I just need him to trust me.
Can't you just trust me here?
