Wow ! This is ... Just awful !
For context , most nerds/geeks/pop culture fantatics , love Kevin Smith , and while i do understand the significance he has in pop culture because of how he is partially responsible for the invent of Podcasting , i actually dislike Kevin Smith tons .
None of his works have been amazing to me , and recently he has put hands on some of my beloved properties and while putting his own spin on said properties he has produced some awful results .
This book is no different. Smith goes into a mode of writing which i consider children take when writing a fan fiction , he doesnt understand any of the Batverse characters , often handing them out poorly and adds unnecessary sexual context and most time (if not all the time) his attempt at humor comes across ill fated and awful .
There's absolutely nothing in this book that makes me like it . The art is mediocre , rhe action sequences are cluttered and suck, Batman and his rogue and ally gallery are handled awful , the story is atrocious and the dialogues cringe .
Hate Kevin Smith more now ,and i will now make it a life goal to forever prevent anything that has got his name attached to it
