Hide contents Personally, I thought that the plot with the meteor about to hit Gotham really came out of nowhere in the final issue. It felt rushed to me. I did and I kind of enjoyed it. The reason I say 'kind of' because like you, it felt rushed to me as well. The Commissioner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Commissioner Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 I really enjoyed this issue. I'm excited to see the Joker and Zur fight over the next couple of issues. workingdog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read this last night and at first was a bit confused. I re-read the book and then after some other conversations on a comic book forum I visit it all clicked. Not sure what DC is doing, but it seems like we are spinning our wheels with this multiverse stuff. Sure it is cool we are getting a Failsafe-Zur. We did have The Batman Who Laughs just a few years ago, so having another "Evil" Batman I'm not sure if that works for me. I will continue reading to see where things go.

The Commissioner Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 I really liked this issue. Definitely wasn't expecting Failsafe to make a comeback, or that Zur would upload himself into Failsafe and give himself a body. I'm really excited for next month's issue. workingdog and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Commissioner Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 New issue being released this week! Batman vol. 3 #141 Description: Zur-En-Arrh has done the unthinkable. And now, cut off from everything and everyone, Batman has to face off against his most devastating enemy in a brutal fight for the future as the specter of The Joker hangs over everything. The stunning conclusion to "Mindbomb" is here! workingdog and Point Five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Commissioner Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 Wow, this was an amazing issue. Seeing Batman fight Zur in Failsafe's body was awesome. The art was fantastic, the writing was fantastic. Seriously, what a great issue. I like that Joker Year 1 is going to tie in with this storyline. It should be pretty interesting! workingdog and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely on board with what you wrote in your review. At the same time, I'm a bit conflicted. When it comes to Zur and Failsafe, I feel like they've worn out their welcome and and Zdarsky is on the verge of beating a dead horse. Time to move on. Let's first get the Batman Family back together. And I think Batman cannot do it alone. Which leaves me with the one person who possibly could. It's wishful thinking on my part, but if Zdarsky were to surprise us with the return of Alfred, that would be magnificent.

I also thought the idea of Zur creating Failsafe in case Batman went too far and killed, seemed a bit confusing because I feel like Zur is more likely to kill than Batman.

The Commissioner Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Also, Zdarsky had the perfect out for bringing Alfred back when Batman was in the alternate universe where Alfred was still alive. workingdog and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did and I thought that was what was going to happen. In truth, I don't think I would be happy by bringing in a multiverse Alfred. The one thing I did get a kick out of in that storyline was alternate universe Alfred was married to Leslie Thompkins. A nice tip of the hat to a legacy Batman character.

The Commissioner Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 Anyone reading Joker Year 1? Personally, I think the story is just okay. And is the side story where people are becoming infected in Gotham City happening in the future? I was a little lost on that. workingdog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your assessment. The ending was kind of anti-climactic. And to honest, I think the Gotham City infections do take place in the future but I can't say that with 99% certainly. I am glad to see we're getting Jorge Jimenez back next issue Edited February 22 by workingdog The Commissioner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
