Creative team behind this run has rhythm

-Starts with an interesting tease -Great art. -Ghost-Maker is fun. Hope he keeps to be. -Unsanity Collective isn't exciting. -Tynion's Scarecrow is exciting -Harley Quinn page felt out of place and unnecessary -Robin backup issue is fine

Ram V does again what he is very good at; creating an exciting heist story

Oh boy, that was a good issue, taking Dick Grayson's story to a step further. I'm sure Dick will not just dump Bea like an issue later. That would be such a letdown that disregards this issue's weight and DC wouldn't definitely do that, right?

Damian Wayne is a beast and this issue shows it. While the story is still lacking, this was a highly dynamic comic with engaging composition and good art.

-Same tease with the first issue, without moving the story further is unnecessary and boring -Great art -Not much has has happened -Ghost-Maker backup issue is dumb fun. Pointless but I am ok with it.

-So it was more about Future State Batman than Future State Catwoman huh :/ -Onomatopoeia was pretty lame, he felt ultimately unnecessary. -Cover is too good

I didn't like the way it ended. Story was forced to continue without a satisfying Batman-Joker confrontation. But still, it's hard to not enjoy this series because art is too good.

Mediocre arc. -Dialogue dragged on sometimes -Action was unsatisfying -Dichotomy between Batman and Ghost-Maker was good -Clownhunter was handled ok -Batfamily parts were totally unnecessary -Bruce's training times are almost always enjoyable to ​me. -Harley Quinn stole the spotlight again. It's fine but it gets repetitive.

-What the hell, stop with that "Scarecrow future" first pages already -Too much exposition and set up -Miracle Molly can be a fun character

I don't think Tynion is the right person to write mainline Batman series. He is a great writer, I like his Gotham, Ghost-Maker and Harley Quinn. His writing of the Bruce/Batman character is not bad too but the problem is, these are not compelling Batman stories. He can't make the Batman, driving force of the story or he can't make the story revolve around Batman naturally. This causes constant set-ups without an actual BANG! He chokes the story with an obsession for a better Batman and dwelling on rhetorics without conclusions. He has a good vision for the character but it's still not executed satisfyingly for more than twenty issues. He keeps deviating from the Bruce too, stalling his stories with all that endless original additions of himself. They are fine, Batman stories have a wide range of characters most of the time but he his using the side characters to escape from the Batman stories. Although the series is still enjoyable, I don't know where could this go from here.

Art is great and suits perfectly to the setting of this issue but the ongoing story got boring already. They didn't even dealt with the "speed force bomb" of this issue in a clever way.

So, Mirror gang stole Batfamily's comm frequencies and fooled them to gather up together in a location, just to run on them while yelling? They had a great oppurtinity but not prepared an actual trap to unmask heroes? Ok whatever, dream sequence and detective Damian parts were cool.

Once again Red X forces the story to go on without ANY explanation. That character has been terrible so far. Just resolve his arc already.

There are too many characters but none of them are significant yet and they keep introducing new characters to the series. Stop. It doesn't have to be this convoluted and messy. When are we getting the fun school drama and the growing pains of young heroes. Story is leaning on the Red X mystery and premonitions of a disaster yet to come which are both boring.

Yeah they did throw all that Alfred's talk from last issue to trash. Even though Ric era was awful, they could carry on something from it to the future but no, they had to make all of it -even changes that would be good- redundant. Fight with the KGBeast was fine.
