Oh good lord, save us from this endless torrent of multiverse shite that’s covering all things superhero these days. It worked in the first Spider-Verse movie and now everyone’s doing increasingly garbage versions of it.
Failsafe zapped Batman into a different universe. So it’s Gotham, but dystopian of course, with the usual cast of characters all of whom look slightly different. Batman’s gotta figger out a way back and stop the Joker of this universe who’s trying to commune with the Joker of Batman’s world for raisins.
Meanwhile, Tim Drake, the only one of Bruce’s sons who seems to give a fuck about trying to get him back, works with Toymaker(?!) and Mister Terrific to save him.
The Red Mask feels like a piss-poor version of Marvel’s The Maker. And, this being a multiverse story, cue the parade of cameos at the end. That ‘member berries trick didn’t save the Flash movie and it doesn’t save this book either.
Batman, Volume 2: The Bat-Man of Gotham is such a tedious and pointless comic. None of this loud rubbish was entertaining or exciting in the least. It’s an empty story full of stale, rehashed concepts that’s completely unimpressive. DC/Marvel need to park this multiverse crap for a few years because they’ve really run it into the ground now.
