It was a little bit hard to follow at times, but the artwork was amazing and the story violently sharp so I don't really have much else to complain about.

Typical Batman and Joker comic with some poison toxin thrown in.

Knew it had to happen sometime. The Batman Who Laughs was way too popular to keep him out of the universe indefinitely. I knew eventually he’d be back – either in the main continuity or in his own series. And it looks like I was right.
This was a decent first issue, on the whole. For a few moments I tricked myself into thinking something else was going on, which I liked. I like that they left us uncertain at moments. The conclusion erased any doubt, while setting up for the next issue.
I don’t think you have to have read Dark Metal in order to understand what’s happening here, but I think you’d appreciate it more if you had.

Alright this got me very interested.
It’s insane and off the walls. It’s Metal.
The title comes from the big event Metal that happened recently. Batman is doing his thing when a corpse of Bruce Wayne? Comes into his possession. But this Bruce Wayne is different he doesn’t have all the damage that Bruce has, he’s got less scares. He took up a different life. And then the Batman who Laughs comes back to kill the Joker.
I’ve already gotten extremely plot heavy and that isn’t even the whole thing. But the art by Jock is incredibly solid, very articulate in kinetic action. The story is interesting even if at any moment it could fail that balance between serious and wacky. And I had a ton of fun reading it. And really want to read the next issue.
It’s heavy on the dialogue, heavy on the plot, and heavy on the fun but if you like Snyder’s style then it’s definitely worth a read.
My only criticism is that balance leans a bit too wacky at times and it can rely on Batman is Batman moments. But I really liked this.
4 stars.
