Great and scary spin on the Batman mythos. An interesting a riveting read! I'd read a whole series on this.

Fascinating setting that goes nowhere. A simple history of the world this is set in would be twice as interesting as this story- the plot moves slowly for the first 3/4, then rushes through several introductions, revelations, and confrontations, before leaving you feeling like you're missing a second issue. Eh.

In a world where Oliver Cromwell's Puritan regime is still alive three hundred years later in the aunited States, Batman becomes a priest until he discovers his parents were killed for opposing electroshock conversion therapy.
I did enjoy that we get a nuanced look at religion and that just because the state that wields religion is corrupt that does not make God corrupt. But otherwise this elseworld that launched a thousand stories did little for me.
