Pre-review: Hot damn, this comic is in the library system! To read or not to read? I don't think I'm ready to read the Rebirth Batman yet!!!
Actual review starts here:
Sighs, why is everyone throwing their real names around in the field? Secret identity is still a thing, right? Right!?
The story of how the Gotham Knights came into being is doing pretty great, I really like this part of the story; although I got a bit tired of Stephanie's angst of (view spoiler), I know, this kind of thing sucks big time for everyone........but I still don't like how she reacts to this.
As to the villains...The Victim Syndicate, despite their awesome outfits and looks, these people are a bit on the 'Meh' side. I mean...Joker, Scarecrow, Clayface etc killed your loved ones and screwed your life over, so.......let's blame the Batman and kill people who aided him and/or supported him? It isn't like I can't see their reasoning but still.....them going out in the open and calling out to the general public to support their revenge against Batman...? I'm skeptical.
Last but not least....Batwoman! I really like her storyline in the main story and the Batwoman Begins short story.
