Batman 130 brings the Failsafe story to a close in shocking fashion. Read our full review here:
When Chip Zdarsky came to Batman earlier this year with Batman #125, it was very much a return of sorts. For the title itself, it was a return to a quality in storytelling that had largely been absent in previous extended runs bogged down by a focus on dismantling the iconic vigilante by throwing too many random new supporting characters at the story and losing sight of who Batman and Bruce Wayne are.
In general, Batman #130 hits the right notes. The issue explains how Batman makes it back to Earth after being stranded in space by Failsafe and beautifully illustrates how resourceful Batman can be while leaning into some of the character's more fantastical elements. However, even though it's something that makes sense functionally, in terms of actual execution it comes off bloated.
It's with that in mind that the solution to the Failsafe problem feels phoned in. For all of the creative problem solving Batman has done and for all of the demonstration that Failsafe is a villain he cannot defeat, the idea that Batman would try a simple—in a sense—reprogramming seems weak. It seems defeatist, which is the exact opposite of what the narration suggests we are seeing from Batman, who is more dialed in than ever and sees the world, perhaps, more clearly than he ever has.
And yet, there's something interesting in killing Batman – even if there's no way he's actually dead. More than that, however, there's a lot to enjoy as Jorge Jimenez's style continues to be a true delight on Batman and the Arctic scenes are especially well done here.
In the end, the"Failsafe" arc concludes almost predictably and while the quality of Batman #130 isn't quite to the high standards set by Batman #125, it's still an interesting issue that positions the story to progress in intriguing directions. Yet it's an unfortunately bloated and somewhat rushed conclusion that doesn't quite land and leaves the reader wanting more because they're just as tired as Batman is by the end.
