Saying this is one of the worst Batman mini-series ever printed is a compliment to this issue. There was absolutely nothing redeeming about this issue, particularly as it follows an issue that, while not particularly good either, had such promise. There are a few twists in the tale, Batman pops in occasionally and acts un-Batman-like, and then the villain is revealed, but not really. Because this doesn’t answer any of its questions, and if it did, I missed them completely. This was the wordiest, most incomprehensible Batman story I’ve ever read; it made me long for All Star Batman, and that is the method of torture I use on my siblings when they’ve been thoroughly annoying. I wouldn’t give this to someone as toilet paper; my collector side is the only thing stopping me from putting this on a bonfire. From a man who’s apparently good enough to be an Executive Editor at DC, this was amateurish, bland and insulting in almost every way. Maybe DC should rethink that promotion.
