Batman 131 reveals Bruce Wayne's fate after being dispatched by Failsafe in a move bound to make readers gasp. Read our full review here:
To say that Chip Zdarsky has been doing an incredible job on this Batman run would be a little bit of an understatement. His first batch of issues building up the threat of Failsafe and ultimately culminating in a wild cliffhanger at the end of Batman #130, which left the fate of Gotham's hero an explosive question mark, were thrilling and introspective in a way that brought a freshness to the title without sacrificing any of the familiarity of the iconic character.
The issue picks up almost immediately after the cliffhanger in Batman #130 with Bruce Wayne—in a nearly destroyed Batman costume—waking up in Crime Alley. He soon determines that he's in Gotham, but also that this isn't his Gotham and bluntly lets us know that yes, we're in an alternative version of reality and a disoriented Bruce isn't alone. He's there with a skeletal Jim Gordon.
Functionally, the issue does exactly what it needs to in that it sets the stage for this next chapter of the story. With Bruce being sent to an alternative Gotham, we as readers do need to get the lay of the land. After all, DC has a wide range of alternative worlds to choose from, but there's something about this particular take on things and the way it is all set up that feels tired.
The only thing that really salvages it is the artwork. The comic is visually very impressive, and Mike Hawthorne and Adriano di Benedetto deliver some gorgeous clean lines that work just brilliantly with Tomeu Morey's colors. Even skelly-Jim Gordon is well done even though he's such a bonkers addition to this affair and one I hope we receive some explanation for soon. While the story itself lacks a bit coming out of the gate, the art alone is worth sticking through it.
