Batman: Detective Comics, Volume 5: Gothtopia by John Layman
1.0
Thank god Gothtopia is over. I was especially annoyed when the villains captured Batman and DIDN'T TRY TO KILL HIM or any of the Bat Fam.
Like, seriously, I understand Batman doesn't kill but the villains should've offed him and not carted him to Arkham expecting him to sit tight. I normally like Scarecrow stories but giving him villain sidekicks who should've tried to kill Batman but didn't because ... why, exactly? ... made zero sense.
Issue #27 was billed as a special mega-sized anniversary issue with over 80 pages, but I'll be honest I skimmed almost the whole thing because it didn't fit into any of the main storylines at all. This was more like an anthology I pick up because it has one or two stories that tie into series I'm in the middle of and just skip the rest.
Also, way to be a dick to Selina in the end, Bats.
