Tom King's Batman is settling into reliably amazing. Like Gaiman's Sandman or Moore's Swamp Thing, King is telling a story with obvious epic scope through a series a tales that are simultaneously stand-alone and interconnected. I don't always agree with his choices (like the pages and pages of grunts toward the end of the book) but I appreciate their boldness and his willingness to try something. ( )

This had two main stories. First we have a Bruce Wayne story. He's on the jury for a trial of Mr. Freeze and weirdly he's calling Batman's (his) actions into question. It was most definitely a thought provoking story.

Then there was a humongous story, not so much in length, but in how it will change everything (I think). A Nightwing and Batman team up is how it starts, and that was hilarious. No one can needle Batman as well as Nightwing can. And then --- just-- wow, holy moly, I don't even have words.

It wasn't exactly what I wanted to see for the TPB after the wedding, but, it was definitely something.

I received this book via Netgalley thanks to DC Entertainment. ( )
