I didn't like it at first, but it really grew on me as an alternate reality story. I'd never want it to be canonized, but I appreciate the idea of a story that directly tackles Batman as a legitimate problem in Gotham while still keeping him as a vigilante instead of making him an outright supervillain or something. And I liked what was done with Napier, all things considered.

I think I liked it for a limited series, but there was a lot of things that just didn’t sit right for me. Bruce’s deductive ability seemed to be downplayed for plot convenience, though I did like how the writer framed the “two Harley’s” concept from start to finish. I think it'd make a decent animated film adaption if it got the proper treatment.

[quote=@Master Bruce]If the intent is to start killing good guys, you might want to dial it back a little. At least at first. That's dangerously close to a PC villain if the stated intent is to hunt down a known superhero, even if my guy is a vigilante that the public fears. Maybe play around with Slade wanting to dabble in heroism a bit? There's certainly precedence for that with characters like Deadshot and Black Adam, who went down the path of the light for a brief spell.

They could easily focus on Slade’s years as a military operative or even speculate on the route of “what if he didn’t become a random generic mercenary for hire” that few tend to consider. But yeah, I basically agree here. If we are saying no on villains, plots like that don't make much sense.
