It is a classic story. I don’t really like it. Moore written better works and modern recolored editions look like they were made by amatures who just opened Photoshop and not original artist

What a disappointing mess. Ivy was beaten by pointing a gun at her still human heart. And Batman in the end shot her anyway because fuck her i presume. What he expected by that? Snapping last straw between her humanity and godhood? And Bruce got not one but two pep-talks with Gordon and got nothing from them

I understand that Bruce is a deeply broken man at this point going through a couple months of constant mental and physical torture, but this twist from being Batman that is willing to go with more blood than usual to an edge-lord’s view of trigger happy Batman is just idiotic. Snyder has truly messed this moment up and this constant switching from scene to scene gets more jarring with each issue.

At least Ivy’s origin is properly tragic. And most importantly she cannot be redeemed into a hero on a whim due to her obsession with evolution

P.S. Oh no Martha is dead. Who expected it. She is definitely died off-screen and this Tallon definitely shot at her… Come on Scott, this is just bad manners at this point. This trope doesn’t work if you use it as a cliffhanger

In this episode of “Life and torture of Bruce Wayne” we finally have long awaited debut of Poison Ivy. And damn she is fabulous, especially in her true form

This issue has three plots run simultaneously. First is Bruce’s daily life going to hell. Second is Ivy’s origin full of delightful deranged philosophy. And third happens in current time with Ivy taking over the center of Gotham and corrupting it with her idea of “the Seventh Kingdom of Life”

I fell in love with this Ivy because she definitely, without any small print of goodness saying that she is right: delusional in her conquest. Absolute Poison Ivy is no longer an eco-terrorist with good point and horrible execution, she is no longer anything resembling a human being. She became something more in her own eyes and she wants to let this more to sprout and grow throughout humanity. She is a fascinating monster with minimum requirement in origin to still be sympathetic and tragic in her own right

So it would be very fun to see what circle of hell Ivy will make Batman go through and what irreversible damage will be done on poor poor Bruce this time

Batman – Green Arrow – The Question – Arcadia #2 (2026)

Automation could do the work faster.
We do the work cheaper.

I read this series for The Question and Green Arrow, and i have and idea why Batman is here, but i cannot explain it without swearing :)

This comicbook series is about a liberterian-billionare building the floating city with the power of the slave labor. This is the perfect setup for both Question, who is an ex-libertarian and current street philosopher, and perfect for Green Arrow, his whole character is about fighting capitalism and social inequality. And there is Batman, who seems to be here for company

And i liked this comic, exept for one thing… excluding Batman… this book is too preachy with it’s ideas. I am not going here with grey morals, i very much agree with most of them. I am speaking about lines like “He’s fitting us into his narrative.” and “We are just people fighing back. Because we care.” If this two lines were said by Arrow or Question(esspecially Question) i wouldn’t had had any questions. They both are psycotic in different but fun ways. But it was said by a random guerrilla woman. Why in a middle of a shootout she would say something this simple in this overly complicated way? And that is half of the dialogue here. It just ozzes the energy of “i live in LA and i give a f%@&, look at how much f%@&s i give!” and this lines just need a good editor to either cut em or replace. That is a basic mistake that i did, and i still regretting myself for allowing it. Seriously read my Þe Orb and proove to me that last paragraph doesn’t ruin this short story

And the way the book delt with The Question is great, the writer does well in balancing between Ditko’s psycotic noir detective and O’Niel’s philosophising self-reflecting Question(even if it is still far from perfect). Also this spin-off version of the character is better than modern mainline version(i hadn’t read 52 yet btw)

Never stand behind a centaur!

As you could’ve guessed i don’t realy like crossovers with Batman, i think that Bats is the parasite on any of this crossovers, he always becomes the center of attention, even if he dies he still lives. THAT HAPPENED TWICE!!

But i like Absolute Batman quite much, because unlike his mainline counterpart, Batbuilder has something odd that people call — conciquences.

And this issue is about him dealing with conciquences of getting his closest friends into his vigilante buisness, about him dealing with trauma.

And most importantly, getting kicked by a centaur :)
