This was a sticking point with me, it felt that there was too much at stake and that Mr. The kind of supervillain that the Justice League would have needed to get involved with. Bloom has some powers and could kill people easily but as time went on he became a grotesque monstrosity who could have ended up wiping out all of Gotham. Second, the supervillain Bloom started off as a character with a purpose and a motive but as the book went on his motives started to be drowned out by the looming return of Batman and the constantly escalating danger only served to make the Dark Knight’s return more obvious. The deep colours and wild pencilling give the sense of danger and chaos – which is constant in this volume.

It’s misleading to think that ‘Bloom’ is the only book about Mister Bloom as he dominated the pages almost right from the start in Superheavy.
