Batman: Gothic by Grant Morrison
3.0

A solid but ultimately kind of forgettable tale from Morrison far before his Batman run.

It starts off with a simple call back to when Bruce Wayne was in school, learning his evil headmaster is actually a very bad person, and this bad person shows up in Gotham years later. But of course this is Morrison, and we have to get trippy, with eventually having focus on a story of Thomas Wayne making a deal with the devil and...yeah it gets weird.

But it's what I expect now days with Morrison. Simple enough, not overwhelming weird, but weird enough that it became kind of a chore to read at points.

But yeah overall not horrible, some great scenes here or there, but I wasn't overly impress with this one sadly.

A 3 out of 5.
