I went into Future State blind. I didnt read any of the rumors or leaked threads. The only reason I knew Batman was going to be an African American was listening to my aunts Trumper friends go on and on about how the SJW ruined another character. Even though none of them have read a comic in 20 years if at all. Oh and the story on Fox News wondering if people are just a bit too Woke.

So going into this blind I was really happy at the end of the book. I really enjoyed reading a Batman that was not Batgod/Batdick. I really loved the two brothers with the Bane gang. Are they like The Jokerz in Batman Beyond cartoon? A gang based in a villain? or is it rumored that Bane will have a connection?

It was a bit bogged down because there was so much to try and explain. But over all I enjoyed it. I really did like the back up story as well. With the Arkham Knights. A couple really great under rated Bat Foes getting a chance to shine is great.

All in all I give it 3.5 out of 5.
