A review by samhain
Batman (2016-) #101 by Tomeu Morey, James Tynion IV, Guillem March
medium-paced
2.5
I mean, it's really well-written but it's also quite uninspired. King's era had its faults but this feels like DC is asking Tynion to pretend like most of Rebirth never happened. Now that they've gotten rid of Selina and rebooted the Batfamily, I'm sure they'll even find a way to bring Alfred back from the dead and go back to the default Batman worldstate. Combined with Tynion's nasty habit of stealing from other Batman stories, I'm just not convinced at all by this take.
Hopefully, I'm wrong and this Year One 2.0 will have some pay off, and mark the beginning of a proper new era for Batman. One can still hope. If anything, I'm happy about the budget cuts. He's still filthy rich, but he won't be cheated to God level anymore. That's the one good thing to come out of this.
