Clayface is struggling with his humanity wanting to find a cure to his condition but fighting the cure itself. Elsewhere, Anarchy is fighting Spoiler and Batman for the right to create the town of Utopia. Who will win.

This story is the conclusion of several threads that will eventually lead to a wider storyline. It is a good comic that seem to focus on Batman’s crew more than him. It also is not very detective-oriented and more adventure-based. This is not a complain. I do find the comic to be bright and colourful which is something that has been missing from Batman for years. Perhaps the focus on Batman’s team helps with that.

Again, visually, this is an adventure comic where fights and characterization are the mainstay of the artwork. It is certainly not a brooding comic. It is an enjoyable read.
Rating: 8/10
