Batman, Volume 8: Superheavy by Scott Snyder
4.0
I haven't seen them do a story like this and I think I rather enjoyed this.
Spoilers ahead:
So, after the last issue of Endgame where the Joker and Batman seem to be buried under the city, Batman is presumed dead. The story starts with Jim gordon in a robot suit looking like a Bat of some kind, but it's Iron Man. He is doing his best to protect Gotham. At first, I hated this idea. It was horrible. I don't see how they can go forward.
Now, I am ready to give this story line a chance. It turned when Bruce Wayne shows up in the story. I'm not sure exactly the theory, but it is presumed Bruce is a clone or something and so he doesn't have memories of his parent's tragic death and he doesn't have all those years of combat training. He doesn't even own Wayne Enterprises for some reason I don't get. He doesn't have the drive and motivation to be Batman.
This is where I get intrigued. I don't like the fake Batman, but it's obvious something is going to happen. I'm willing to give them one more volume before I get upset. I can't wait too long to get Bruce back in the Batsuit, butI haven't seen anything like this. It has me intrigued, for the moment.
There is also a new villain introduced - Bloom. I actually think he is a pretty cool new villain. He has no dimension yet - he seems all bad and no gray, but he's ok for now. The next volume, I won't to see these things resolve. Kudos for doing something so unique to the history of Batman.
