“In my father’s day, the american dream used to mean something...”
Why is Batman talking like a braindead Rorschach? God this sucked so fucking hard, and if it didn’t have Darrick Robertson on art, I probably wouldn’t have bothered. Batman’s monologues are so OOC and self-serious, it’s almost embarrasing to read. It’s like some kid who read Watchmen and TDKR once has finally been given a chance to write comics. But maybe this can save itself by being “so bad it’s good” like All-Star Batman & Robin or Odyssey.

This is more like a 4.5 for me. It took a little getting used to in the art department but it really grew on me. I loved the dark tone of the book and the action was great. It will be awesome to see how the Bats deals with this global situation without Superman. Totally onboard for this!

Por cosas como esto se ve cómo la hiper producción de la industria comiquera debería echar algo el freno... Sin irnos a la "distinguida competencia" que terminó una miniserie de "apagón mundial" con Tom Taylor, actualmente tenemos a Jock enfrentando a Batman a las consecuencias de ciudades a oscuras con la proliferación de más criminalidad. Desde luego espero que Gary Whitta tenga realmente más que decir, desde luego he disfrutado bastante más de lo que esperaba (a pesar de una voz en 1º persona confundiendo de peor forma las buenas narraciones internas neo noir como ha hecho Matt Reeves en The Batman),

The monologuing was a bit heavy handed, but was still a decent read. Not enough to buy the rest as floppies. I'll pick up the trade or read in DCU to finish the arc.
