The rating in this is primarily for the art, which is excellent, and a few distinct scenes (Deathstroke taking on the League, the idea of a villainous equivalent to Oracle). But the use of sexual violence as a poorly thought out plot point, the horrible fridging of a female character and the quite blatant misogyny make this book difficult to recommend.

This was almost impressively misogynistic. Took fridge-ing to a whole new level. Almost every woman in this narrative is leveraged as a plot device to further the emotional pain of the men in her life with little in the way of depth offered to her own pathology. Lots of dramatic twists and turns for shock value with so little of interest to say.
