Description
Now that Batman has escaped the "Knightmares," he's starting to see the forces rallying against him-and that his father from another universe has joined the other side. The Caped Crusader finally digs into the mystery of how Thomas Wayne, a.k.a. the Flashpoint Batman, escaped the collapse of his dimension and ended up in this part of the Multiverse. Get all the answers in this title that paves the way for "City of Bane"! Also collects Batman Secret Files #2.Tags

I love Tom King's dialogue and individual scenes, but I really, really dislike the characters of Bane and the Flashpoint Batman, and even King's fine storytelling is doing nothing to justify their existence in my mind. And the sequence where Bane's incredibly complex and unlikely plan is laid out step-by-step just about ruins King's whole Batman run for me. But I'm just going to chalk up that misstep to DC causing King to rush the ending of his big story by kicking him off the title prematurely. Unfortunately, the next couple volumes will probably be tainted by that whole what-might-have-been perspective.
truly this is less than the sum of its parts. i felt like i spent the whole time thinking, "sure, let's see where he's going with this" and the answer ended up being "nowhere." a lot of great batman stories have these sorts of artsy montages with heavy narration, but that really only works when there's some substance behind it.
