I personally wish it went on longer. The story and Capullo’s art was stellar. I could read about Bat-Jim all day.

I thought Superheavy was a weak arc going on too long. Bloom will be a one and done villain. I did like the WTF nature of Gordon adopting the cowl, an amnesiac Bruce Wayne and the book referencing one of Scott Snyder's most underrated Bat books though.

mine to I didn't like bat gordon
I was in a freak accident there were freaks everywhere Dan vs
Liked the concept and while I enjoyed it overall, think using Gordon was a misstep.
Would have preferred a new character. Think a member of GCPD with military background or something.
With Rookie's AI system, could have made some fun Bad Boys/ Sam & Twitch/ Starsky & Hutch-esque stories.
I quite enjoyed the Robo-Bat story overall in a bizarre yet enjoyable kind of way although that story with the JLA fighting a monster that sucked out the liquid from peoples eyeballs was just weird!
I enjoyed the story enough, I really like the villain Mr. Bloom and hope we have not seen the last from him (especially if Snyder pens the future arcs with him).

Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
Yeah Bloom was really cool. I liked him a lot actually
Bloom was a very interesting villain, but I thought the Gordon as Batman story just didn't work. He felt so out of character in it to me and I just can't picture him doing what he did. Maybe that is why his time as Batman is generally forgotten in the fandom it feels like.
