I am enjoying this so much, and reading all of them back to back, and not even thinking about my rating, just giving it whatever stars to get to the new one.
Okay a question why make batman lose his memory, only to make up a way for him to regain his memory again, why couldn't they just save the poor guy the hassle of going through all that.
So yeah Bruce Wayne decides he wants to save Gotham, and goes through a procedure to become batman again, his girlfriend Madison helps him become batman, even though it will erase his time with her, and how the hell did she figure out he was batman!
Anyway good stuff my batman new 52 journey is almost over.

HE's BACK !!! :)

He is back.
Rest in peace Bruce.

Had some great high points but also several instances of the things that have soured so many on Snyder's run. This was a weird but effective issue. I think it might fair better in a marathon read of Superheavy once it's concluded.

2024 - Year of The Bat (366 Days of Batman)

Day 161: 3.5⭐️ rounded up. So the mind cloning machine worked. As far as we can tell. Strange visions of other lives, Elseworlds. Seemed a fast read with nothing happening except The Bat’s rebirth. And why did Capullo miss one issue? The art was kind of jarring. Maybe that was the intent.

I feel this is possibly the pinnacle and thesis of Snyder's run. Similar to Tom King's Batman Annual #4 with "Everyday".

It's a better encapsulation of "27" from the Detective Comics special and better written than "Last Knight on Earth".

Good to finally have Bruce back.

The return of Batman!! Will Mr. Bloom win??

[mike andrews · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wayne takes a very dangerous step so he can remember how to be Batman.

[Dimitris Papastergiou · Rating 2 out of 5]

Meh... lots of mediocrity in this one.. For Bruce to get back on being Batman... no. I don't need to see all the Batman versions being like one and shit like that. Also the idea of Bruce uploading Batman's brain so future generations can be made of Batmen with the same brain and ugh-- nope.

I'd rather watch Hercules the Legendary Journeys.

Going to have to read this a few more times to fully get it, but I also want to curl into a ball and cry so maybe not.

Finally, Bruce is the Bat again. It feels like forever. The art was amazing and the last panel was what Exactly what I was looking for.

[Eric · Rating 4 out of 5]

I didn't really like it, but it was necessary to get to issue 50. That will make sense if you read it. I liked it only because it gets us to what's about to happen in issue 50.

[Taylor Cayes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Felt like Multiversity, but interesting. Snyder weaves it together into Bruce Wayne's return as Batman. Paquette's art looks great.

Deeply satisfying. Wonderful.
