2024 - Year of The Bat (366 Days of Batman)
Day 9: Grudgingly three stars. The only thing I hate more than crossovers (I now have to hunt down The Flash tie-ins) are crossovers in the middle of another story line. No matter how good the story, it can wait for the current one to finish.

4,5/5. As much as I like the Batman Flash team crossover, one of the rare crossover I enjoy, this one just seem to get out of nowhere in the Batman time line... Anyway, the issue itself is good and will be part of a 4 issues mini-series, two on Batman part and two on Flash I assume. Good mysteries, cool illustrations and lot of action. Its a very good comic, just kind of caught me off guard a little.

It's nice to focus on Bruce's relationship with other heroes, especially on his friendship with Barry and Wally. Despite everything, I think he's got more in common with the people who live a simpler life than with god-like beings such as Diana or Clark. Barry and him both lost a boy (well, Bruce lost several at this point... when is someone gonna send him in therapy?), and they're always trying to make things better for everyone at the cost of their own sanity. They might have different personalities and methods at first sight, but deep down they're very much alike. I think after the Heroes in Crisis tragedy, the most likely to understand what the other's going through are these two.
I do hope we'll get more issues like this, in the future. A breather in-between King's super dark deconstruction of Batman, where Bruce is allowed to have friends and allies and to let down his guard for a bit, even if it only happens because so many people died.
Speaking of these deaths, I'm sad they're 100% canon. So far, I was considering Heroes in Crisis to be a parallel story, a character study of heroes and why they choose to risk everything for others. But including its consequences in Batman's main publication makes them very, very real and painful. On the bright side, it gives DC a chance to hire Stjepan Šejić and let him do his "reborn into the Green" version of Poison Ivy #fingerscrossed
