There has to be a bad one, doesn’t there? With all the Batman books demonstrating exactly why we love the character so much, the main title falls by the wayside, trudging through poorly constructed plots with non-shock twists and artwork so ugly that more often than not my eyes could only gloss over the writing. Bringing Ra’s al Ghul’s father back into the series just seems to detract from Ra’s’ own impact, while the last page reveal of a new sidekick shows that either Tony Daniel is a closet genius, or he hasn’t got a clue how to write Batman villains. Either way, this is the worst Batman series being published right now, in almost every way.

Story: 2 - Average
Art: 1 - Poor

    yeah, I struggled through his stuff after RIP. But I will say he is improving, and someday he could be a fantastic story teller. I just don’t think it’ll be anytime soon.

    Batman is my favorite character, but there are just too many books. Far too many. I only but Batman Inc, and Dark Knight. I prefer Bruce over Grayson.

    Bruce is a lot more interesting right now; we’ve had a year of Dick Grayson, and I enjoy him as Batman, but in this interim it’s not been fun. Paul Cornell’s Batman and Robin has been very average and this has clearly been awful (I agree that one day Daniel will be a great storyteller, though). My favourite Batman book is still Detective, though, and that’s Dick, which confuzzles the theory!
