A review by liquid_death
Batman: Fear Itself by Steven-Elliot Altman, Michael Reaves
1.0
This book is absolutely awful for the following reasons:
1) The book keeps trying way too hard to give really in depth world building to Gotham. None of which matters to the plot and keeps breaking up what little action there is. It was also some of the most stale world building I have had the misfortune of reading.
2) Like most people have said the book tries way too hard to pretend Scarecrow isn't involved even when he is clearly involved.
3) At the end of the book and Batman only ever so slightly cares. That was so incredibly out of character for Batman that I wanted to quit the book in rage even though there were only 2 pages left. Even if they had planed for there to be a sequel and have it revealed that . You can't take back Batman's cold and uncharacteristic reaction.
