Kate is in battle to death against the Scarecrow and she's about to learn more about her past and future than she ever wanted.
Jesus Christ, this didn't work well at all.
Marguerite Bennett ends this storyline, the only storyline for this book that could have been called "decent" at least, in a way that reminisces most of the mistakes from Batwoman's Rebirth portrayal. For one, Bennett is fixated on the idea that Kate is going to become like her father which is fine enough, is an interesting idea, the problem is that such characterization is based on the misguided depiction that James Tynion IV created for Jacob in Detective Comics by basically turning him into a manipulative asshole. Bennett is basing her work on one of the worst from DC Comics and very little good can come from it.
The worst about this is that guess what? Bennett makes a flashback to that boring island whose name I don't even bother to remember (much less the characters) because apparently the first 5 frikking issues dedicated to such dull place weren't enough.
Fernando Blanco and Marc Laming's art is magnificent and shines especially during the hallucinations thanks to their creative storytelling.
Other than that, I wasn't wrong at putting this in my Top Ten Worst DC Comics of this year. Glad that is ending already.
