- don't like pandemic storylines, never had, and the current world state isn't helping either
- gordon's unemployment arc was cool, love my guy Gordon
- that one scene where Bruce and Gordon jumped out the window and Bruce was like "do you trust me" and Gordon was like "how dare you ask me such a stupid question" and I was like *crying* and then Gordon was like "can I ask you as stupid question though? are you the real you?" and Bruce was like "the one and only" and then they jump out the window, I really liked that
- Tim and Selina. Fave duo. She's like "be careful kid I scratch. but also no really be careful I care about you. not more than I care about the money though. if I had to save money or you I would save you though. Jean-Paul was there.
- the wild goose chase for the person with the antidote is fun but also there's three people and obviously the first 2 would be useless so that was just a bit boring.
- TIM GETTING HIT BY THE PLAGUE??? DICK CARRYING HIM TO THE CAVE??? ALL OF THEM TRYING TO ACT STRONG IN FRONT OF HIM???????? cried.
- Tim getting better but still having a fever and passing out and having Catwoman finding him and making fun of him and then seeing he's actually sick and being worried and saving him? great
- Huntress
- Huntress and the child
- Huntress and the child and the batman on the rooftop

Great! Appropriate read for right now, slightly overwhelming, but good. Ex Machina at the end winds it up too quick, though.

This was one of the first Batman books I had read , part of the set up for the No-man's-land storyline , I recently did a re-read . My first read had left me with high impressions of the book , sadly the re-read made me realize how poorly it has aged .
This is not to say that the story is bad , in fact it's still good , but the dialogues, plot progression and art style were really bad . The art style in particular , despite various artists working on it , I don't think I liked any of the style , even keeping in mind of the time of publication of this book .
Again , having read this as a kid , I really had high standards set on my mind for this book, but re-reading it I cringed a lot . Specially every moment of Catwoman's appearance had tagged along with a heavy dose of cringe
But at the end of the day the plot still holds up well enough for me to say that it is readable and entertaining (if you ignore the cringey dialogues and the art) it does have a real campy feel to it , despite the artist trying to portray it as dark .
