Batman Reveals His Abandoned Faith in 'Batman' #53 Exclusive Preview
I abandoned all faith in this after #50
Didn't we have a whole thread debating Batman's religious preferences a while back ?
Classic King, what took him a whole issue, could have been done in about 4 pages.

Pulls: Batman, Detective Comics, SiKtC, Catwoman, Nightwing, Titans, Godzilla, Wonder Woman, Batman & Robin, Brave and the Bold, No/One, Kill your Darlings, and Deviant.
My runs: Batman #230-, and Detective #420-
Hmmm, Bruce always struck me as more of a Nathaniel Emmons Congregationalist.
I thought Bruce was just rambling until he pointed out that people naturally assume Batman is right because, well, he is Batman. Thank goodness it had a point in the end. He is larger than life. He has saved Gotham and the lives of all the jurors. But in the end he isn't god. He is just human and is prone to mistakes. I pretty much guessed what was going on from #51. However I was expecting a curve ball. Sad that we didn't get that. In the end it wasn't too bad. Although this could have easily been a two part story.
But, hey, I got three issues of Lee Weeks art.

Anyone else cringe at the trunks scene? Hope this era with the trunks being on superman and batman end soon

What with the St. Augustine in #48, and Job here, there's a lot of Christian stuff in Batman recently. I really loved the use of Job at the end of this issue - a perfect quote of desolation. And I'm really wondering if Lee Weeks' religion contributed to King's choices for this arc.
Whatever the case, though the mystery wasn't as solved as I'd hoped, I think it's reasonably satisfying, and the art is really gorgeous. I hope that Weeks and Breitweiser can come back for another arc when the regular teams of Daniel/Florea and Janin/Chung need another break, as I personally prefer their work.

He’s not doing it out of spite. He’s doing it because he’s hurt. It’s rhe equivalent of throwing out pictures of your ex around the house because it hurts to be reminded of them. Not because he wants to “spite” Selina.
Bruce is taking his first steps towards healing. Going back to the original suit is like shedding his skin, so to speak, and as he says “remembering who he is.”
Anyway, I really loved this arc. The art is so nice, and I thought it was an interesting way to examine Bruce’s mental state after the marriage didn’t go through. I definitely didn’t expect a jury duty story after #50, but I enjoyed it for being unexpected AND good.
Other than the classic costume with the trunks coming back (which is great), this was terrible.
Good Marvel characters- Bring Them Back!!!
