I knew Alfred was the real batman, and everyone called me crazy.

Series really picked up in issue 4. Now the series is my favorite one in Rebirth

@kid_jakeriv: Series picked up for me on #3. This preview is just glorious. Too funny xD

Good on King

Up to now, all the beats of the story are really predictable. But I enjoy all the characters not having "Gotham" in their name.

Batman has been some of Finch's best work.

@batman3000: I agree

best Batbook is All-Star Batman!

Then Detective

Then this

Alfred was about to stomp

Yeah, no. Tec, then Batman, then All-Star.

Ahlie he was so happy to go away cause he didn't want the grief.

@eto: @soldy: cool, but for me it's the other way around (at least for now)

Bruce Wayne isn't Batman :o

@eto: @soldy: As of right now , I prefer kings Batman , then Detect., then all Star batman .

But all 3 books are worth picking up. As far as all-star goes, I can't wait until Sean Murphy takes over art duties!

hahahaha thats actually pretty funny

That was pretty funny.

The GODDAMN Alfred.

It was alfred the whole time.

Alfred is the real Batman

Man, I wish I never read this, I would have loved to been able to pop open and read this for the first time...so awesome haha

lmao poor alfred

I am not a fan of Finch but that sequence drawn from Alfred's perspective from inside the batmobile as he drives through Gotham is amazing. I wonder if that was King's idea.

This has been a good arc, the artwork is great, and just very enjoyable.

That last frame with Alfred had me cracking up.

Can't wait to pick this up in TPB.

This was meh.

Alf in a batsuit was halarious.

This was meh.

Alf in a batsuit was halarious although.

Why is there no elseworld where Alfred is Batman or at least a caped crimefighter of some sorts?

Alfred the All Father should've have smited him.

Just read it , awesome issue . Action sequence is amazing . Wouldnt mind reading a Gotham girl series as well. King made me care about her , even with her minor appearances

This might have been the weakest issue so far. Yea, the first half with Alfred was gold, but the rest was a big let down

So apparently Duke is gonna marry Gotham Girl?

The ending and the ''future'' narrative is really gonna bother me. Duke marrying Gotham Girl and it is supposedly her origin while Batman's gonna die...AGAIN.

He just come back dammit. I don't need another replacement.

Also, I really don't like the idea that someone can BUY a power to defeat JL that easily, no matter the consiquences.

Favourite comic of the week! Action, humour, emotion, character, crossover and art.

"Who is the ture hero of Gotham?"

I KNOW, I KNOW, IT'S THE GODDAMN BATMAAAN!
