I thought this story line was awful. Most of the tieins added nothing to the overall story, which was almost pure dialogue anyways. Little plot movement, weak characterization, and so on. What's the point of the riddler wearing a mask if he tells everyone he's nygma to begin with? And where's his riddles?
This story had little explanatory power which is the whole point of an origin story. Where'd Bruce get his training? That's the Batman origin I want to see. Not all this crappy about the red good gang and his uncle who isn't an integral
part of his origins.
And all they do is yap yap yap all the time. It's dialogue galore. Show me don't tell me, writing 101. It's like each character is a psychoanalyst. I initially liked the new 52 because it wasn't like that, unlike 2000s comics, and it had interesting stories that moved. You know, more like real superhero stories.
Zero Year: started nowhere, went nowhere, was nothing but a waste of time.
