New 2023 Review: Obviously my 2023 brain disagrees with my 2015 brain LOL. But I really enjoyed this, while not perfect, fun end to Morrison's first 3 part epic on Batman.
Basically we have Doctor Hurt, the leader of the Black Glove, unleashing his full on plan against Batman. This starts with Batman losing himself to himself, and releasing Zur-En-Arrh. A much more vicious, more pedal to the metal type batman. He comes in with a Bat most of the times and swings away. This stuff is actually really intriguing and helps make this Batman alot more fierce.
At the same time we do have some good moments with Damien, Nightwing, and Tim and even the crew from the Black Glove mystery story. And the Joker is creepy as all hell here.
But I do feel Doctor Hurt's plan is too big and convoluted half the time. And he's not as interesting as all the other players in this game, letting me down with his weak ending overall.
But RIP remains entertaining throughout with some great moments and art. A 3.5 out of 5.
Original 2015 Review: This is by far the worst bat man story I've read. Chopping pacing, confusing, bad fights, stupid metaphors, a boring finale, and a horrible twist. So glad I read new 52 first otherwise I'd never pick up another bat man comic.
