    What a Waste

    Intro

    Cover-Art: 5/5

    Storyline/Flow: 1/5

    Colors/Inkings: 4/5

    PiS/Complete Absurdity: 5/5 (this is a bad thing)

    The Good

    The art is actually pretty nice. Visually this issue is stunning.

    seriously the art looks good

    thats why this issue gets 2 stars because it looks good

    The Bad

    by my count Batman should have been dead 15 times over this issue. I mean seriously Reverse Flash has been able to fight wally west evenly. but the guy can't even KO Batman in under a minute? and im supposed to believe this complete bullshit? yeah nice try, but im not buying.

    Also Zoom could have literally ended batmans life at any point, and he had no legitimate reason for not killing Batman immediately other than Plot. don't force a storyline down my throat if you aren't even going to try to make it slightly believable. How hard would it have been to add a line from Reverse Flash saying "I could kill you, but first i want you to suffer"is it perfect? no. Does it at least provide a crappy excuse? yes!

    You brought back one of Flash's most iconic villains to kill him off in 1 issue? Really? Really? Seems legit.

    Conclusion

    I can't possibly recommend spending money on this travesty.

      Good Start to a great crossover 0

      This was a good start to an amazing cross-over. With the return to the real Reverse-Flash and Flashpoint Batman, made this an amazing book. This book was all a slug fest with Batman and Reverse-Flash. Just like Batman issue 20 we had Bruce showing that he is the Batman. ...
