At this point, I kinda understand the negativity.

This series is a complete and utter failure. It’s so fixed on pretending to be smarter than it actually is it completely fails at every level. The story is complete forced conflict and randomeness, we’ve got a bunch of characters that barely know each other fighting each other because a third group we barely know anything about just falls from the sky and kills somebody so that the story can advance, yet, instead of trying to get the tone of a “classic” fantasy series, this wants to trick you into thinking it’s actually layered when its not. The twists are either so obvious they don’t really warrant so much time dedicated to to them (yeah, the Evil Els are probably imposters, we get it, that reveal should have come several issues ago and it still hasn’t come) or so obtuse they are imposible to guess (I was low-key hoping the Joker Green Lantern thing was a fakeout because it’s completely stupid and came out of nowhere). The characters are cardboard cutouts (partly because the series is so enamored with its asinine imposter plot it cannot actually characterize them for fear of showing its hand early), the conflict is completely artificial and the pacing completely dreaful (we’re way past the halfpoint of the series and it still feels the plot, which is pretty generic btw, has just started). We are still ending chapters with a random baddie coming into the story and murdering somebody, as if that were shocking anymore. I went to this with an open mind but seriously other than the artwork, this is absolutely terrible.

And don’t get me into Taylor’s (lack of) dialogue writing skills…

The pacing is energetic enough you don't get bored, but it's basically getting repetitive, the plot was getting kind of convoluted and there's also little to no investment in these versions of Bats and Supes, who are written more as cardboard cuttout archetypes instead of characters.
