Introduction of Bane and holy shit is he scary. That introductory skull smash really sets the tone for him off that bat. I am really loving the friendship of Bruce and his crime alley crew.

Decent issue, makes sense as a penultimate to to showdown. I feel like I missed something with the Red Hood gang.

They have done an impeccable job making Bane into a monstrous seemingly unstoppable villain that I can’t even envision a way that Bruce can beat him. What Bane does to Harvey, Ozzie, and Eddie is difficult to see, but what he does to Ozzie especially is horrific. I was curious how they’d turn him from a normal looking dude into The Penguin, but i absolutely did not see that coming.

Bane is such a scary character. This metaphoric interpretation of breaking Batman’s back is so unbelievably brutal and unsettling, im so curious to see what happens next

Absolutely one of my favorites issues in this run. The attempts at breaking Bruce down and he constant innovation and tactics to fight back is written so perfectly. Bane is such an asshole, and I feel so bad for Martha.

Love the color, it’s so gorgeous to look at. I love the design for Mr Freeze, he looks so damn creepy it’s great. The interpretation of what it’s like being cryogenically frozen is also horrifying, i love it.

Love the mystery being set up, the art didn’t blow me away this issue. The interpretation of Mr Freeze seems really interesting and very creepy.
