Batman (2016) #39

• It's basically Action Comics #761. • The plot that you can fight for so many years without any consequence in your mental health was stupid then, it's stupid now. • If the door can only be opened from our world, why do they need a warrior keeping the demons at bay? It's the same thing with the UN - Justice League agreement that "no one can enter Talia's Kingdom", but without explaining us why there is such a deal in the first place. These are just unexplained plot holes for drama effect. • Really weird how Batman, the guy who don't trust anyone, trust a total stranger with the hope that some day he will return. • Using other established characters (Diana, Talia) only to strengthen the Batman - Catwoman bond is ridiculous. You don't need to use Diana as a prop, just so Batman can prove his love for Selina. That's not how relationships work. • Wonder Woman being overly flirty all of a sudden from the start; forgets that she is in a relationship with Steve Trevor, ignores that Bruce is engaged to Selina and spends the issue trying really hard to seduce him. (obvious in the shower scene), even though she would never disrespect Bruce and Selina's relationship, not even after a thousand years, she's too honorable for that. • Poor Steve Trevor. Not even a mention. • Easily one of the worst Wonder Woman characterization ever. • The previous issues were a nice team up with Superman and Batman. God forbid Wonder Woman be treated that way, with at least that much amount of respect. She's a woman, he's a man let's make them fuck already. Top quality writing. • Batman, the very model of willpower and self-control doesn't seem too hesitant to cheat on the love of his life. Back in Action #761, it was 1000 years between Clark and Diana before they even thought of that. • Batman, apparently, doesn't care about his family. "I have three sons and I haven't see them for 10 years. lol jk, who cares." By far the worst Tom King issue ever written.
