While this is obviously a step down from Knightfall, I'm surprised so many people say this is awful. Maybe because there's no big branching storyline, and I can see that as being a fault. This is mostly just a bunch of story of Jean Paul being batman.

Let me just say this. I'm in huge favor for Bruce retiring, just stepping down, going off in to the sunset and being in love with Selina till they fuck enough to have a kid, and just enjoy life. I would love for someone to take over for him. Dick has before and it was amazing. You know who SHOULDN'T take over for Bruce? Jean fucking Paul

Jean Paul is angsty as hell and honestly boring at the same time. It's crazy how that's even possible. He mostly just goes around stopping crime, which in itself is fine. It's true to the nature of Batman and the villains range from pretty good to silly as fuck (I won't even get into the cowboys...Dixon what the living shit was this?) But still, Jean Paul is missing everything that you need for a lead, but mostly a decent personality.

This is mostly Jean Paul decent into madness and by the time Bruce returns, back somehow cured, he wants to be Batman again but Jean Paul like "No bro, finders keepers losers weepers" and so Bruce and Tim decide they must get it back by force. Bruce goes to train.

That's the whole big storyline basically is how shitty Jean Paul is. And each story varies in quality. Some good, some okay, and some shitty. but it's 600+ pages so yeah...

Either way not great but not horrible. It's around a 2.5-3.
