Bruce is finally ready to confront his father but he's not alone and this won't take too long.
"Where would we be without pain and misery?".
Gee, I don't know King but I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have your run.
Seriously, if all the previous chapters from this overly-long were not heavyhanded enough, Tom King decided to hit you with the same f*cking ideas over and over in this final issue. The fact that he dared to talk about "pain and misery" just at the beginning of this read as a GOOD thing means that he hasn't learned nothing about what went wrong with his tenure on this book. Not to mention that the whole "Are you proud of me daddy?" stuff is still present and is as regressive and nauseating as ever. King might have dropped the repetitive dialogue but the repetitive themes are still going, repetition is his thing.
Plus, this is a pretty short chapter despite of being oversized with a "final battle" that feels anticlimactic (big surprise), out of order storytelling to try to seem intelligent and awful pages of "Bat, Cat" to boot. It's pretty much the worst part of all these years of Batman condensed into a single issue.
Oh, and let's not forget that King killed Alfred... for basically nothing.
Mikel Janin and Hugo Petrus do a good job in art duties but as usual, they're wasted here.
I actually think that I might have to edit my Top Ten Worst DC Comics of 2019 list to add this part in it, is just really bad. I don't know what else to say aside from I'm glad this era is over.
