Batman Vol. 6: Bride or Burglar?
by Tom King
I knew after the last volume it would be hard to top it. This isn't as good but honestly? That's okay.
So this has three parts. Super Friends part 3-4 (Now it's Bruce and Diana's turn to be besties) as they fight for over 20+ years together against a endless horde of monsters while Selina tries to free them. Then we have a Poison Ivy story, which I'm going to be honest here, has never been one of my favorite characters. I get WHY people Love her, but not me. Anyhow she takes over the world and everyone in it except for Selina and Bruce since they had the cure. Last but not least is two one shots, one with the Origin of BRUCE WAYNE. No, not the hero, but a kid who is twisted and turns into a little killing machine. Then the last volume is Selina going over her past interactions with the Batman while trying on a wedding dress...or two...or three.
Good: I love Selina and Bruce together. It works. Maybe it's because of King's writing but they feel like they belong together. I really enjoyed Super Friends part 3 and 4 as well. Diana and Bruce always had a respectable relationship and nothing changes here. Very well done. I also enjoyed the hell out of Selina past interactions with Bruce and of course her trying on the wedding dresses.
Bad: The origins story of Bruce Wayne was kind of flat. It had a cool idea but went nowhere. I think it'll be interesting to see what becomes of him though. Also the poison Ivy story, while not bad, didn't really stick the landing for me.
So nothing terrible here. This is still a very solid collection for me. While I didn't love it like War/Engagement, I thought it was up there with I am Bane at a 3.5. I'll hit a 4 on here because I smiled a lot, and that's a good sign.
