This issue was a lot better than i expected specially the writing considering it has the Writer of teen titans academy co-writing it, let's just say that book isn't really what it should be. the only Problem i have with this series so far is that i wish We had a more Concrete reason to visit the flashpoint universe again.

The problem i have with some of the issues of this event specially the batman ones and the recent deathstroke one is that the things that happens in them could've been a Page or two in the robin book and nothing of Matter would've change and imo the pacing would've been better. the starting point for this event was decent enough ( even though i wasn't a fan of Ra's characterization and Bruce blaming Damian for Alfred's death even though previously he said he doesn't blame him). to me each issue feels like having the same formula of more assassins show up, some crazy fights happen and then it gives you a little bit of plot. i really don't like this pattern and this is the same reason i didn't likE What became of Tynion's batman run during Joker war and after. more

if you ignore the first few stupid pages with John this is Probably the best issue after issue 1( in nowhere of this world they would call this arse pull reveal as a story yet it gets this many pages). the problems i have with this is that Knowing Taylor's recent work so many of the ideas that he is planting here he is not gonna rap them up and probably so many of this cameos of different characters are just for the purpose of fan service. a thing He has been doing a lot in his recent series. more

This series put's a smile on my face.

Don’t care about this issue. Part of some huge plot that I am not following. The art was nice, but the story ends with Bats kissing Talia.

Caution old man rant coming. You kids stay off my lawn.

My. Problem is that Talia is a terrible character. Terrible in both senses evil and poorly written. At first she. Hangs around her dad and calls Bats beloved and helps Bags escape death traps. She is pretty but immoral. She “loves” Bats but only opposes. Her father’s plans because of her high school rush. She does not oppose them because they are genocidal. I have never seen her protest all the thousands of people she sees Ra’s kill in front of her. It’s Beverly Hills 90210 reasons.

Then decades later she is independent.now she has her own agenda. Now she kills people and has her own evil organization to do her bidding. Her plans aren’t moral,yet Bats is supposed to be attracted to her? Don’t say because she beautiful he can’t help himself. That’s a child’s reason, not something a grown man with any emotional awareness would say.that’s the problem wiypth DC, since Miller, they’ve been writing Bats as a psycho. I miss the guy who is smart, responsible and really wants to help.not someone who is just indulging anger issues.

Don’t care about this issue.

Or I could be wrong. more

Nothing much really happened. nothing of importance that is. that page with the hint of Fake deathstoke's Identity was probably the best part in this issue. not a fan of Talia and bruce. the art can be confusing sometimes specially when in the flight scenes.

Didn't like the part with Ra's. it was kind of foolish for Ra's to act like that and do the whole information exposure in public. and art was bad for me. other than that it was solid.

Holly sh!t. wasn't expecting that reveal. i already know people gonna cry about it here. this is a elseworld accept it. it was good to see some characters with plot armour gone for good. but now i have a question about a one shot that they're going to release about a certain character in the Gap between the issues considerin that character is kind of dead.

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. A lot of the time, these issues were among the best since they were easy to read and allowed the reader some room to breathe, as well as allowing new readers to enter a series. Even in the series by popular modern writers (Bendis, Morrison, Hickman) all have one offs and filler. Hickman's Avengers was notorious for this, and people ate it up. People seem to really not like it when Taylor does it because they are mad at him for something else. Rant done; this series is just really fun. Every issue is amazingly drawn, and the interactions between Dick and every character is just fun. Remember when comics could be fun instead of just dark and miserable? Highly recommend this entire run so far by Taylor more

i liked this. even though the Titans didn't appear but i also understand this is a short event in fact only 5 parts or issues and also mainly a suicide squad event. there's no reason to be angry about it cause I'm sure they are gonna appear in their own book. also Please get hopeless out of here, his writing is bad. I'm pretty sure the bad dialogues in this issue comes from him.

The art is terrible, the writing’s terrible, the way Jon was drawn he looks like a constipated beaver

The only thing I liked here is that we FINALLY get an idea about Bendix's plan, that's the only good thing here. Everything else is just stupid and propagandistic beyond belief. The good news is this book isn't selling and I think it's going to get cancelled pretty soon. If Wonder Girl got cancelled, which wasn't a great book but it was definitely better than this crap, I think this will get cancelled soon, too. This summer we're probably going to have Williamson's big event and if this book goes on after that, then DC really is begging for bankruptcy because you can't keep putting out books like these and expect people to support you. more

Fabulous. i relly like the voice of Luthor here. and the art is amazing. if there's something that i have a little problem with is Batman being blind and it's effects. i was hopping for it to have a bigger role and effect here but still enjoyed it.

the story's going somewhere.........
i guess.

I think someone should let in Jon on the fact that he joined a cult. Yeah, "the Truth" is a cult, even though Taylor tries to sell it as something else, a "rEvOlUtIoN". And the art is bad, I wasn't a fan of Timms' art but this is much, much worse. I swear there's a panel where Jon looks like a girl, I've seen this in the annual too but ignored it, when it's repeated though I can't ignore it. There's also another panel where Jon and Jackson are drawn in a very intimate position and I'm sure that was also done on purpose for the tumblr crowd.

Honestly though, I expected much, much worse from this given the cringey cover but Taylor went pretty easy with the climate change issue here and I enjoyed the plot. I think this may be the best issue of this series yet, though it's still mediocre at best. more

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.

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.

Thankfully the art is good and script solid. It's just not as good as I wanted it to be, but I never was that interested in this series to begin with. I hope this series can find a reason to exist and do something entirely new with the concept. more
