Some thoughts about Batman #5

The only thing Gotham wants is to destroy his own city.

Gotham has been infected by the Psycho-Priate and now is out of control. Batman will need all of his skills and the help of his friends to stop him but not everyone here will survive.

To be quite honest, I didn't find this particularly good.

Tom King brings a new chapter where he focuses on the final fight between Batman and Gotham and while it offers some solid action moments, is a bit awkwardly handled. The writer manages to deliver more about the backgrounds of both Gotham and Gotham Girl including the source of their powers, this is an interesting take and the characterization that comes from it is solid enough.

The problem is the rest, especially the dialogue. Mind you, there's not as much repetition here as in others King's works but the way how characters talk can be kinda unnatural at times with each one of them saying phrases that seem out of place and pretty odd. Plus, I don't even understand why the Justice League needed to be here since they contributed pretty much nothing to the story.

David Finch remains in art duties and his work is still quite consistent at delivering solid expressions and strong action scenes.

Aside from that, I'm still not engaged here. Hope it gets better.
