Batman: Detective Comics, Vol. 8: On the Outside by Phillipe Briones, Miguel Mendonça, Bryan Edward Hill, Diana Egea

3.0

[Read as Single Issues]

Well , it was okay I guess .

Bryan Hill takes over the detective comics duties from James Tynion IV , after what was a successful run , Hill maintains the status quo from the Tynion run and proceeds to bring in a new villain - Karma, with artificial metahuman abilities such as mind reading and increase physical strength and agility . The initial issues deal with Batman figuring out who Karma actually is and what his motivations are , while the latter issues see him dealing with Karma and forming a new team - The outsiders .

Overall , I though for a Batman book , Batman does appear too weak and irrelevant for my liking , the interactions between Black Lightning and characters like Barbara or Bruce felt weird as hell but the art was stunning , the plot was quick paced .

Overall , an average outcome .
