... Though 3 stars for the last story with Dick and Damian.

I guess I should have seen this coming, but it still somehow took me by surprise. I'm not a huge Bizarro fan, I think he is a little silly and annoying, and I really didn't think this comic would go there...but they did....and it was just as silly and annoying as I thought it would be.



This story is just getting a little bit out of control as it feels like the entire cast of DC characters will be wormed into the story in order to stretch out this concept.

Aside from the Bizarro story line we have both Team Bats and the Regime adding villains to their ranks. We see that Flash and Green Lantern are total jerks and just let Superman order them around. I can't tell what is worse, the fact that they disagree with Superman but go along with him anyways, or characters like Cyborg that don't even question him.

Moving away from obscure ridiculous constant gods and magical beings, this gets back to the core of what made Injustice great and interesting. Honestly you could skip years 3 + 4 and not miss much, just jump to here.

I do wonder what is left for Batman to try at this point in the struggle, but the volume touches and hints at his plans.

Year 4 was a bit weaker than the previous Injustices but Year 5 is back to it being good. I haven't read the final volume yet but its building up to be an amazing finale. Or very disappointing.

So far though, Injustice has been a fantastic read and if Year 4 discouraged you I think year 5 can win you back. Volume 1 and 2 might not have done enough to deserve four stars but I think they're great set up for the final volume.
