This Is the Worst Batman Story in Years (And That’s Saying a Lot)

It seems like the primary Batman series has been stuck in a repetitive pattern for approximately ten years now. Most storylines revolve around either Gotham City being taken over by a villain, Batman being criticized for his heroic actions or fighting with his allies and family due to convoluted reasons. Sometimes these three elements are combined, which results in the least satisfying stories. It’s worth noting that there have been some excellent Batman tales within the main comic book series over the years, such as James Tynion IV’s tenure, and the first two arcs of Chip Zdarsky’s run were particularly impressive. However, these storylines often succumb to the issues mentioned above, ultimately leading to their downfall. The controversy surrounding Tom King’s run still persists, while Chip Zdarsky’s run is frequently criticized for its overly prolonged Failsafe narrative. Despite the positive aspects of those runs, I can’t recall a single enjoyable element about “H2SH.
