As they reel from the effects of the Colossus virus, Batman and The Joker make their final stand in the ruins of Rome’s Coliseum. At last, their true enemy reveals his identity for one final showdown. Weakened by sickness and forced into an uneasy alliance with his greatest foe, how can Batman focus on what he needs to do to survive?
One of the best illustrations I have spotted in a very long time, this excellent story culminates in the City Eternal. The greater use of black makes it quite bold, and other colours fades and gives in to the dark emotions. An old foe, an uncanny revelation and a fitting conclusion, the story has it all.
Loved this series! This ending felt a little rushed, so that's why I didn't give it a full 5/5 stars rating. It was entertaining. I want to read more stories where these two have to be allies.
A deception for the last issue of this series. It has started real strong but slowly loose it punch and the story doesn't really go anywhere at the end. I was hoping for something more original. Not a bad series, but not the ending I was waiting for...
