Just pages of explaining plot mechanics rather than telling a story. Issue 2 had some interesting action and it felt like it was all gonna kick in. Instead, when I got to issue 3 I felt like they skipped over the all of the exciting incidents to instead explain stuff in a bar. I.e. all of the stuff you missed if you didn't buy the one-shots and Gotham Resistance crossovers. We're over 100 pages into this story and the story hasn't started. Plus its Snyder so it will have a disappointing ending probably. I'll just wait for The Terrifics.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00185609263234354638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-53406609381961853042017-10-13T19:35:51.037-07:002017-10-13T19:35:51.037-07:00I appreciate your thoughts on Detective Comics, bu...I appreciate your thoughts on Detective Comics, but it seems to be catering to nostalgia in recent arcs (Az-Bat, Spoiler, Anarchy, Lady Shiva). Not that I mind, as long as they are good stories. I am interested to see where they go with Tim and his conflict about his limited impact as a superhero. thefuzzdaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14829346321175101987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-4792766862264024882017-10-13T19:33:46.845-07:002017-10-13T19:33:46.845-07:00I have mixed feelings about Rebirth Batman.

I was a bit perturbed to see Bane take down ALL of the Robins and/or former Robins (Dick, Tim, Damain) off panel before he challenges Bruce in “I Am Bane.” There are some interesting insights into why Batman continues his fight with quite a bit of self-awareness on his part about dressing up as a bat. I have a mail order subscription to Batman, and oddly, for the last two issues, I have been getting them a week early! So I got Catwoman's "yes" before anyone else. I just got issue 33 has some great artwork by Joelle Jones and Jordie Bellaire with Batman and Catwoman going for pre-marital counseling it seems (you'll see). Damian even cries in the story! I'll be interested to see what you think.thefuzzdaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14829346321175101987noreply@blogger.com
