Some thoughts about Batman #29

Can Batman survive dinner?

Joker and Riddler have arrived to Wayne Manor to have a little conversation with Bruce which could turn out to be one of the most important parts of the war.

... WHAT THE FLYING F*CK WAS THIS?!

Did you suspect that The Joker of War and Riddles was an arc were nothing actually happens? Well, that suspicion becomes a reality here due that this is just an issue with characters talking at the table. 

Characters talking at the table!

THIS IS BRIAN BENDIS STUFF! Except that at least Bendis can let his characters be funny from time to time, we're supposed to take all of this frikking seriously! Which results in an immensily boring chapter where the plot barely progressed a bit.

But do you know what I consider the worst part? That King tries to make this all deep by fulling the issue of metaphors about the themes of the story. Yes, he made this incredibly dull issue this way just to show the complexity of this arc but without any actual nuance in the plot progression, character work or ideas, he's just relying on his own style.

People, this is pretentious AF.

Mikel Janin's artwork never disappoints, the problem is that this just another case where King simply doesn't give him anything interesting to draw. Well, he does draw appealing food at the very least.

Can't believe that I was excited about this story at the beginning. When am I going to learn?
