Some thoughts about Batman #36

Who would win in a fight, Superman or Batman?

The Joker is in control of Clark and there's little that Bruce can do to stop him but even if he manages to do it, he will still need to deal with his biggest enemy face to face.

Endgame continues and I must say that is not really as good as they made me believe.

The battle between Batman and Superman is pretty much what you would expect from these characters. Scott Snyder is able to give some nice moments here and there but eventually he makes some of Batman's arsenal a bit too unbelievable even for superhero comics standards, it just made me scratch my head about how incredibly convenient was all for Bruce.

Plus, I'm not sure if I like how the importance of the Joker is being so overblown. Sure, he's Batman's archenemy but at times he feels a bit overhyped and taken way too seriously.

Credit where credit is due, Greg Capullo makes the best from this story by delivering beautiful scenes with great storytelling skills. Plus, the new look for the Joker is pretty good.

The backup story written by James Tynion IV is even more ridiculous by delivering a pretty silly story where a demented woman thinks that the Joker is a robot and made her kill her family. Yes, even for comics standards this is way too much, not to mention that doesn't really fit with the main story.

Graham Nolan's artwork is pretty good though and it has a pretty interesting style.

Overall, this was kind of a mixed bag. I would only recommend it if you really want to see Joker's new look.
