"HOW DID WE GET HERE?"
And you may find yourself living in a record store. And you may find yourself in another part of the world. And you may find yourself behind the walls of an unknown city. And you may find yourself in a beautiful field, with a beautiful dog. And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did we get here?"
DariusTREE reviewed Batman #130 Dec 30, 2022
While I understand some of the complains with this issue (I myself was baffled at the treatment of Superman, for example, felt completely unnecessary), I had a blast.
Batman falling from orbit is the kind of thing that looks and sounds ridiculpus on paper, but the way it was written felt strangely in-character, and it pivoted back into awesomeness.
