The Batman Who Laughs (2018-2019) #1 by Scott Snyder, David Baron, Jock
4.0
Knew it had to happen sometime. The Batman Who Laughs was way too popular to keep him out of the universe indefinitely. I knew eventually he’d be back – either in the main continuity or in his own series. And it looks like I was right.
This was a decent first issue, on the whole. For a few moments I tricked myself into thinking something else was going on, which I liked. I like that they left us uncertain at moments. The conclusion erased any doubt, while setting up for the next issue.
I don’t think you have to have read Dark Metal in order to understand what’s happening here, but I think you’d appreciate it more if you had.
