Batman Who Laughs #1 batman day 2019 variant

While this one-shot (like the others) does not particularly move the storyline ahead, it does have some interesting concepts. The problem is the page count. There just not enough room to explore some of the more interesting concepts and so they are glossed over in a page or two. The other problem I have is that I'm almost convinced that this is going to be "Bobby Ewing in the Shower" ending. This whole story so far has had the feel of this being Batman's worst nightmare given shape. Always the planner, Batman has proven that he was ready if any other hero went rogue and could take them down. This is what keeps Bruce awake at night. The idea that he could go off the deep end in so many ways. And since the new Dream character has already been implied as to showing up at the end of the story, I hope Batman doesn't get woken up and the world is what it used to be. I would definitely call shenanigans on that.
