review 1: Once this one gets going, it's pretty fun, but it takes a few issues to get there. The first couple issues trade plot and character for "Look how British we are moments!" The whole book's largely built around introducing odd characters (often unnamed people in a group) and it's fun, but it also limits what's really going on with it, esp. since we're restricted to six issues with nothing built up over a longer ongoing series.It does help raise the stakes for Batman, Incorporated. I'm guessing fans of Morrison's writing of these characters (or of the Squire's appearance in Batgirl) will enjoy the mini-series.
review 2: The best part of this book is that it's stuffed full of absolutely ludicrous and very English in-jokes and references, some of which Cornell spell
... mores out in appendices, and many of which (including the most scurrilous) that he doesn't. It's a bit by the numbers as a story, but damned good fun regardless. Sadly, with the overhaul of the SC Universe, a return visit to this lot of louts seems unlikely, and more's the shame. less
