When it comes to BATMAN: ECHOES, I’m lost AF.
That may be because the time between issues hasn’t been consistent, but it also may be because this story is as slow as molasses in a Minnesota January. I think it’s the latter along with the story not being very interesting or good.
We have spent 4 issues with an undercover Bruce Wayne locked inside Arkham and we’ve hardly seen Batman — though that appears to be changing based on the ending of this issue. Also, the subplots with Dr. Quinzell and Dr. Crane are coming to a head as we get our first look at Harley Quinn and The Scarecrow. There are 2 issues left, so I suppose we’re headed to the big showdown in Gotham.
But I don’t care.
I had high hopes for BATMAN: ECHOES after reading issue #1, but it’s been downhill since then. Perhaps it will read better as a collected story and I’ll give it a go once it’s released. But in its current miniseries format, it’s been quite the slog. – Bill “Jett” Ramey
