It reminds me that Neil Gaiman & Kurt Busiek once imagined together a similar plot, a long time ago, while they were going to a convention.
The idea never became a story but Neil Gaiman recycled a part of it when he wrote "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?" (in an alternate reality, the Joker was actually Alfred, an actor who impersonated the Joker because Batman needed an archenemy) and also when he wrote "A Black & White World" (in another alternate reality, both the Joker & Batman are actuallly actors and their adventures are a staged affair).

How about that John Byrne cover?
It brings back good memories for me.
I don't love all of his stuff, but I thought his "Generations" elseworlds, and the Captain America cross over that inspired them were really cool.

So. As you prob know by now the big bad was... *koff*Batman*koff* himself. That weird self-perpetuating, VR-angst, psycho-trauma program he gifts himself every birthday. So. What did you think of it after reading?
Did you like it? How 'bout anyone else?
Jeff M comment about the good nostalgia with the Byrne variant feels right, eh. And speaking of Marvel crossovers, the banner submission scene screamed Iron Man movie rip off.

You ask if I like it?
You knw , honeslty, in the end, I really , really do! Its been so long since we had a story where we havent seen the pridictable villain, his defeat, and the end coming.
I really liked how it ended up, what we though was real, wasnt. And you know, I really liked how leslie was alive at the end. Others might not have liked it, but I did. I reccomend it.

Yes, I see the classic suit, the neoclassic suit, the blue centurion suit.
