The 2 pts this issue recieved are purely for the beautiful cover. Its a great looking issue setting on the shelf till you open it and read it. It made very little sense and added ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to the current story arc involving Thomas Wayne and Bane. On occation ive enjoyed Tom Kings attempt on writing the greatest comic story told but i know im not alone in saying most of the time i just wanna dig into my back issues and reread some of Scott Snyders amazing stories. It just seems to me King has failed to even come close to matching Snyders incredible writing. Thank god for "The Batman Who Laughs" series because ATM is ur a Batman fan THIS IS STORY TO READ! King you need to seriously sit down with Mr. Snyder and learn how to make Batman exciting again. Bring a notepad and pen and be ready to take notes from the BEST BATMAN WRITER OF ALL TIME!

WOW WHAT A STORY, THANK YOU SCOTT SNYDER!! THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST STORY BEING TOLD CURRENTLY IN COMICS PERIOD! IF YOU ARNT READING THESE BOOKS THEN STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND IMMEDIETLY GO GET ALL 5 ISSUES CURRENTLY AVAILABLE! CLEAR AN HOUR OR TWO FROM UR SCHEDULE BECAUSE ONCE U START READING U WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP TILL ISSUE 5 ENDS. Thank you Mr. Snyder for making an adult comic fan feel like a kid again, because not since i was a young child have i been so excited to open and read every issue released. Issue 5 continues the progress of this incredible story perfectly and continues the climb of quality that just keeps getting better with every issue. With every issue read i wonder how Snyder could possibly make the next issue better and more exciting somehow this series has kept the momentum full speed and hasnt slowed down a bit. I am a serious comic colllector and fan but i only collect batman stories, i dont read anything else and i have 1000s of diff batman books with different writers telling the story over my years as a fan. I CHERISH EVERY ONE OF MY BOOKS WITH MR. SNYDERS NAME ON THE COVER. I just wish he would teach Tom King how to write with half as much excitement..
