Desperate, mediocre, and terribly bad writing. I think I read this in a fanfic, and I can remember that the writing wasn't that sad.
First, Batman's desperation to secretly save a criminal, as if he couldn't fulfill his duty by talking to the police and leaving him to his fate. No. It has to be like a desperate lover trying to help the love of his life. Boring and beyond trite.
On the other hand, we have a Hood or Jason again, not allowing for much or little development since the writers are mediocre and don't like to learn about the character. And this goes for you too, Zdasky.

Now, as if trying to copy a good comic made by a good writer, they decide to make a mix of those comics and a lot of fanfic, some of which are sadly far superior to current comics. If you don't believe me, go read Who I Am. Who I'll Never Be. by Zootopon. Believe me, this guy can teach you how to write a good story.
Okay.
Back on topic, another fan fic where the well doesn't completely heal Jason and he starts to get sick, and they want to threaten us into buying this shit by saying he'll kill a Robin.
Nightwing is discarded, his Gary Stu, and they can't kill him. Tim is gay now, so he's untouchable, which leaves Damian and Jason, but killing them again? That would be the comics' laughable, very trite, uncreative thing. Hush is a Mary Sue villain. All this writing contradicts itself over and over again; no one has the brains to do things.
Disgusting. more

This is a weird issue. So many plot points happen, one would think that the story moves forward. But so many plot points are introduced that they all get the shortshrift. Hush won’t let Jason kill Joker. It seems as lame as when Bruce won’t let Jason kill Joker. For Pete’s sake Jason, grow a pair and just do it. Stop waiting for permission.

Also, Hush can throw a scalpel into a gun barrel. Meanwhile Riddler makes his play and blows up Gordon. Jason fights Dick, Joker revives and gets the drop on them. Damien arrives to save Batman riding on Bane. Dick Dastardly joins forces with Snidely Whiplash. I might have imagined the last part. But my point is that they are cramming 10 pounds of crap into a five pound bag. It seems Loeb just has too much plot for the allotted number of issues, and it shows.

We see that Hush can make his own villains. So now he defeat the Joker, set Jason against the Batfamily, develop a master plan and tie the ghost of Alfred onto railroad tracks. That’s a lot for a Mary sue villain no one cares about.

The end result is a story that seems mixed up and lost, not well plotted and mysterious. Also the art seems sloppy for Lee. I am not impressed.

Or I could be wrong. more

Damascus steel isn't rare or only forged in a single region of the world. In fact, it's fairly simple and really only adds a special pattern to the metal and can maintain a sharper edge longer. Come on Loeb... A simple Google search would tell you that.
He writes Jason like every awful Red Hood fan, (which is most of them) leaning into the normal equivocating, vaguely authoritarian justifying rhetoric of, "I do what Batman WON'T and that means it's justified," when we've been through this a million times. I don't care if you're now establishing that Jason's brain is more fried than the Lazarus Pit could heal. If Bruce ever thought that for a second in the years since Jason became the Red Hood and reintegrated with the Batfamily, he would have helped him fix it. He HAS helped him fix it. Maybe read a comic that you didn't write Jeph!
Lee's work here still isn't his best but so far is the best in this arc so that's a positive. That being said, I'm not a fan of this new Riddler design. Why does he look like a SWAT officer? It does nothing to really distinguish him as the Riddler. Just a new appearance to sell a toy that no one will buy because everything is overpriced and cheaply made these days. Thank McFarlane for the low DC quality figures.
Tangent aside, this book feels a lot like those aforementioned figures. Poorly sculpted, cheaply made but thrown to the masses in hopes of a quick nostalgic snatch at your wallet. Nothing of lasting substance. If a Robin dies, it's going to be a symbolic death. Jason will cast off the Red Hood mantle, Damian will transition from his position back to Talia, nothing will happen to Dick. I want to be excited. I want to not dog on a book that means a lot to me as a fan but I want and expect better. Everything is derivative of what came before and original ideas in Big Two superhero comics are few and far between when these characters are pushing 100 years old but don't do this. Don't write a sequel 23 years later.

While it's an interesting premise, this is ultimately a shameless cash-grab by DC. Hardly worth paying Five dollars for Four issues. If this is something you're interested in, probably better to just trade wait.

Parts of the story did throw me through a loop and had me guessing. But again, better to just wait for the collected book.

Wow, this comic was poorly written even by the standards of recent months. Taylor threw everything away and gave up on writing anything good. Now it's time to count down the months for the new writer, who will have to clean up a lot of the mess that Taylor has been leaving behind.
Redondo's art isn't bad, but it doesn't have any standout moments.
