3.0

This was much better than the last volume for me. It's still not nearly as good as the start of this series but remains interesting throughout. So let's talk about what worked (and what didn't).

What I liked: Really enjoyed Damien's reflection on past events. His talk with Al, his talk with Superman, and his own inner thoughts made him interesting. I also really enjoyed the Catwomen moment with Bruce. It felt heartbreaking yet right. Also small, but minor moments, like Flash and Superman standoff or Bizzaro whole arc. Just a lot of fun. I fear for his future though haha.

What I disliked: The Doomsday fight was both dull and dumb. It felt so pointless and added nothing. I also didn't understand Batman using criminals for his plans. I understood Superman but Batman going that far. They are bad people. Just because they didn't "Kill" doesn't stop them and even a desperate Batman seems unlikely to side with them.

Overall this volume made me more excited than the last but they really aren't as well done as the first few volumes and that makes me so sad haha. I will finish though.

P.S. - Injustice 2 the game is fucking amazing though. Just FYI.
