I really enjoyed this comic book. This comic reminded me of why I love Batman as a character, and why I enjoy comics in general. I also loved the art in this, 12 different artists and none of the art was ugly to look at; there's nothing worse than trying to read a comic and the art is abysmal

This is some brilliant stuff, my goodness. It's perfectly paced (at the ferocious pace that it has) and is entertaining and tense throughout. I read through this in no time.

Really tows the line between edgelord nonsense and goofiness, but in a way that's annoying and uninteresting rather than fun and engaging

This one was quite good!
We see Batman finally getting tired and all but when all his villains are on the loose, he faces a gauntlet as he has to fight through first Mad hatter and hs crazy antics and then Ventriloquist and the drama he creates and a big story with Killer Croc vs Bane and all the tension underneath, hunting Corenlius Stirk and saving Gordon, dealing with the mad Arsonist Firefly and stopping the threats of Poison Ivy and Riddler, meanwhile Joker and Scarecrow are upto their antics but before that Bane vs Batman (now that Bruce is tired) and the big moment is here and its epic!
I loved the way this volume is collected and it tells a pretty coherent story of how Bane tests Batman and like the gauntlet thing is my favorite and it tests Batman like no other showing how its depleting his whole thing and all and when the big iconic moment comes it makes all the sense and changes things around for the entire Batman history. Plus the art by Aparo is so good!!

That ending. That lead up to an iconic moment. Chills, watching the broken bat become physically broken, damn, worth the hype.
