With the way the ending went, there's no way we're not getting a crazy, violent and brutal Batman. Supposedly, this is going to be a 3 part series so I'm hoping that he plans on finishing strong. He's so good here and has steadily improved on what he brought to the table with Cacophony. I feel like such a heel saying that about the book because I'm a massive fan of Walt's artwork. ![]() However, it doesn't make up for all the strange "happy" Batman/Bruce Wayne stuff. Granted, it's not all bad - he wrote a decent scene between Bats and Catwoman. I mean, there's no other way to describe it. In a word, Kevin's writing here is just weird. It kind of made me forget about all the strangeness that led up to it. My problem with the ending is that it makes the entire novel seem better than it deserves to be. As Kevin wrote in the afterword, there's no one that could have predicted that. ![]() My main problem with this book is the ending. So I knew that he probably just wrote a bad arc, it happens. I mean, I love the guy's work! Big fan of his movies and podcasts I also really enjoyed his Daredevil and Spider-Man runs. Already, my hopes were probably too high. ![]() In my review of Batman: Cacophony, I stated that I had high hopes for the sequel in which Kevin Smith promised a superior story. In fact, I'm such a Kevin Smith fan that I think it may be the only reason I'm giving this a 3 star rating over a 2 or a 2.5. ![]()
