Alfred is awesome. His Batman is pure gold.

Uh no, I doubt that. No offense to that story, but it's not nearly pop culture like the Adam West show is. Originally Posted by millernumber1

Well nothing is stopping, as far as I know, King from referencing less iconic stories/series. Originally Posted by JBatmanFan05

Another "not bad" issue, but it's still not deserving of being called great.
Love Alfred moment and Duke and Gotham girl moment was good too. The rest were meh.
It's my least favorite of rebirth books I'm reading this week.

So GG just happened to smash Damian's Robin suit of all things so that Duke can follow up with "so that happened", Okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk, in before King delivers a massive twitter rant explaining why he doesn't write Damian/Robin.

Didn't like this so much. There's not as much repetition as in the last issue but I'm still not invested in King's dailogue, the characters can speak in weird ways sometimes to get to the point.
Also, the story itself is not that interesting. Some solid character bits here and there but the conflict is not really engaging and I don't understand what was the point of the Justice League inclusion if they did basically nothing.

Enjoyable character moments, though the League showing up was a bit odd since they couldn't show up in #1. I mean, not completely ridiculous, but it did throw a bit of dissonance into that plot construction.
However, who exactly did Gotham Girl marry? It seems like it's implying Duke, but is this more Psycho Pirate delusion?"We're the same thing, you and I. We're both lies that eventually became the truth." Lara Notsil, Star Wars: X-Wing: Solo Command, Aaron Allston

You are reaching pretty hard here. Especially for a guy who just wrote a Robin War crossover and has made it pretty clear Dick Grayson is his favorite Batman character. Originally Posted by darkseidpwns

I wouldn't expect anything less than leaps of logic and blowing this outta proportion. Seems like that's been the trend here the last week. Originally Posted by DragonPiece

I liked this. But I'm seriously hoping they are not building towards yet another "Death of Batman" story.
