Wait, why?
This issue was a complete train wreck story wise. Hey Dead Man you are a conceited jerk and here's why. What? As I can remember from the little I know of Dead Man this hasn't exactly been a secret and the whole Carpe Dem Story line is a little tired. Sorry, if you didn't see Dead Poet's Society you've at least seen Christmas Carol right? I loved Batman here even if he is only in a few panels and some of the art, especially with Batman was incredible. But geez, what was the point of this issue other than giving Batman some time in a time of the year when Batman is dominating all DC books. Sorry. but I could have done without this pointless interlude and no offense to Geoff Johns who sounds like is going to kill in his new Detective Comics run; but what was this dreck. I'm a little put off by Brightest Day after this, but I will probably hang in. Considering how awesome the cover is though, I had high hopes for this one.
