I thought this had some really great character development for ole Bats, but I felt like it was a lot of telling vs showing when it came to the actual narrative.

Which makes sense… idk. It just wasn’t astounding to me. I can’t quite put my finger on what was missing.

However, I’m shook at how much I enjoyed Kite Man of all characters

Whoever drew all these characters to be so incredibly sexy deserves an award.

I think this was a good introduction into comics for me (even though I wish I had started with Vol. 1). Kite Man will forever be my hero, love you babe xoxo

Tom King's run of Batman keeps getting better. This was an ambitious book, with a full-on war between Joker and Riddler. Though I will admit the lead-up to this war felt a little rushed, and the book didn't show us the impact this war was having on the everyday citizens of Gotham (though it referenced it was definitely causing a lot of havoc on a daily basis, as the war resulted in a good chunk of Batman's villains joining one side or the other), it did a great job of having some very interesting twists and turns, including a memorable dinner scene, plus some aspects that really added more to the Bruce/Selina relationship that is being very prominently featured in Batman comics right now. Definitely a great read!
