Devil Comics Review | Batman [2016] Night of the Monster Men

The first crossover following Rebirth, Night of the Monster Men has been building up within the pages of Batman by Tom King. Hugo Strange creates the Monster Men and unleashes them on Gotham as the Batman Family still reeling after the death of Tim Drake stop him. Batman and Batwoman takes on two Monster Men as Nightwing heads towards the third at Blackgate. Gotham Girl realizes Nightwing will not be able to make it on time so she heads over there. Gotham Girl and Nightwing are infected by the virus while tearing apart a monster within Blackgate. Both Batman and Batwoman take on Nightwing and Gotham Girl until Duke Thomas arrives with the cure. Nightwing discovers the four monsters had childhood trauma and Hugo Strange choose them for an unknown purpose. The remains of the four monsters merge into one and Batman decides to face Hugo Strange who is on Venom. 

Batwoman, Nightwing, Spoiler, and Orphan deal with the merged monster while Batman finds Strange. Nightwing jumps inside of the monster like Attack on Titan and the monster falls. The ending of Monster Men is really obscure and feels weak without Tom King writing all the books.
