The ending of this series was inevitable (both in the literal sense of “this is the end of the story” and in the stories of Napier/The Joker, Harley, and Bats), but I am still going to sit here and be emotional about it for a while.

Es uno de los mejores elseworlds de Batman que he leído (que no son muchos pero sí algunos). Tiene su gran dosis de acción pero también de emotividad y los personajes están muy bien desarrollados. Definitivamente leeré la secuela.

Brilliant. Kenetic. Ballastic. A proper, unrestrained take on the Batman mythos. I applaud what Murphy pulled off here. If there comes a moment where an adaptation needs to be done...this story would serve as an answer to "Do we need another take on Batman?" Yes. Yes we do. Follow the template here and it would be a proper salute to most of the cinematic/televised versions of the Dark Knight we've seen. Bravo.

Didn't think I was going to like this as much as I did. It has the air of modern day, edge lord Batman that I find off-putting. "What if Joker was the real good guy and Batman was okay with hyper-violence and took things too far?"

Thankfully, it rises above this. It's a thoughtful look at the characters and their relationship to violence and Gotham. Most of the characters have arcs and all are treated with respect.
