NOTHING.
This book is nothing. Nothing.
Story: 0/10
Art: 6/10
Overall: 2/10
Story: There is no point to read this book. It plays out like an episode in the Simpsons where we revert right back to the status quo by the end of the book. Johns created something extra, to eliminate it, and returned all the toys back in the toy chest, EXACTLY AS HE FOUND THEM.
Art: Fabok drew Barbara a lot in this series, and that looked good. I mean, he really did draw the shit out of that (figuratively). So, thanks Fabok. She looked great. So did Batman's side profile. There was a lot of that too.
Overall: I don't know, I'm not surprised... I had high HOPES this would really build up and blow me out of the water... proving me that I was wrong for 2 issues and that there were all these secret easter eggs that I was too stupid to see.
This is a comic book tale that was written in the same style as comics in the 80s. A storyline is introduced, some shit happens, and then there is a swift and quick ending. The following issue picks up right where they left off before this tale is introduced, and no one would be the wiser if this didn't exist at all. Oh sorry, Batman forgives Joe Chill... now he has no reason to be Batman anymore... right, like that makes sense. Good one Johns.

I disagree with you, it's a stand alone story so that people can either accept it as continuity or not. It's a Black Label story so it sort of has to be self contained. It is leaps and bounds ahead of what is out there for Batman that was written by King.
Hey thanks for commenting! I understand your point, but with how this played out, it would make no difference if it was in continuity or not, so for being a “black label” or elseworlds story, what was the point? John’s didn’t make one.
