Disappointing.
Ok here I am again back to reviewing. The end of another batman Story arc. I have to say it has been pretty good I've kept on the whole way and Joker has been a loved villain in this arc I have to say.
As for my review of this book, I couldn't wait to see what was going to happened only for it to really fall flat on it's face and be anti-climatic, don't get me wrong I liked parts of this book but it's the ending of this story arc that I didn't like it feels like it will be forgotten in about hmmm less than a month. Sure the after math stories will be coming but it will still be forgotten.
My Likes
The art It's the second best artist in the on goings of batman comics, I prefer the art in Detective but I don't put down Batman comics either it has it's place. Pacing was well done in this book you never know what is around the corner next.
My Peeves
Ok My not likes or peeves. The whole thing was just a joke on Joker's part yeah there is a whole metal aspect he drove a wedge to create a death in the family but only because of What Joker said to the other family members.....He suppose to have said how batman really thinks of them, I mean really? They give a damn what Joker thinks? He's a murderous clown who's killed far too many people and they give a damn about what he thinks and says? are the bat family that dense? Sorry but this is weak story telling. Batman showed to his family he trusted them and went on to get Joker yet they all have a problem trusting him? Hell even Jason Todd gives a damn about what Joker said to the point he's drinking his problems away in some bar are you SERIOUS?
The next peeve of mine and really I'm not sure if I'd be interested in. Is Batman stating he knows Joker's real name....errr so what? and why would Joker care about that? he never cares about his past and just what he is in the present. So if his name is Jack Napier or whatever the hell he is called in the new 52 no doubt it's a story that will involve the issue #0 of Batman but really? I have come across a story part for another time and I said "Not interested"
Over all I give it a 3 out of 5.
Gets it's points from art and the story, but loses most points on stupid plot twists and a bad ending.
