Ten years ago, a terrorist attack rocked Wayne Enterprises and left dozens dead. After a decade of searching, Batman has finally located the ringleader . . . who has repented of her crimes and now lives in India doing good. Can someone change; can their be absolution? Or will it be "no miracles, no mercy. Above all: no redemption?"
The art here is excellent (and what drew me to check this out), but the story doesn't quite deliver. It promises to rock Batman's beliefs about justice and retribution, but only scratches the surface. Batman does ask some good questions (internally), but pushes on with his worldview without overly wrestling with them. What does justice look like? Can people change? I was hoping for a more thorough- or at least interesting- treatment.
