That's why I haven't liked her for the last 20 or so years. She no longer has that kinder side O'Neil gave her 50 years ago. The one that actually disapproved of her father's cruel ways. These days she practically embraces them. And she thinks she's as "great" as her father and has molded their son into a yet even more arrogant spoiled brat. I lost any hope for a future between Batman and her when her character went downhill a couple of decades ago.

I'm seeing a lot of reviews bash Taylor for not having an over arching story and just adding filler. It's like people have never read comics before the 2000s. If you read anything from the Silver Age, Bronze Age, or even the early Modern Age, almost every series had filler issues and one off issues.

The good news is this book isn't selling and I think it's going to get cancelled pretty soon.

Bats20832 - Jan 23, 2022

When you think of a character like Superman whose fiction stories included fighting real enemies: Nazi Germany, imperial Axis Japan, KKK, etc., Gamorra seems absurd. But that was another age when comics writers, like Sandman Wesley Dodds co-creator, fought and died for freedom. Today, as read this, mass-murder in Chicago is routine, and children regularly sacrificed. Not one comics hero lifts a finger to encourage protecting their lives. Comics sci-fi writers simply squeeze eyes shut to reality.

Not only that, they encourage the dissolution of society's norms and institutions in the hopes that if enough people will give up on that and their freedoms, eventually their "revolution" will come to fruition.

Just loved the issue. It was so fast in a good way - I mean, I was really afraid that Taylor would start this next arc so slow, and, in the same time, advance nothing with the story. But no! The writing is smart, talk about everything and has no holes in it. Just don't liked the art, as usuall.

No plot holes?

It's just fine. There is nothing wrong with this, but it's not entirely new concept, so it gave a little "been there done that" -feeling after reading this. Sure, there are new elements here, but Batman's origins have touched upon so many times, it's hard to make it interesting and compelling read.
