Excellent, excellent issue. There's so much going on, but then the Freaky Friday thing happens and steals the show. It's funny, it's quirky, it stays true to the story and this universe, and it's great storytelling with amazing art. Love every page.

Increíble como un marciano ardid argumental como el mantener la presencia de Jack Napier mediante una IA que se nos ocultó incluso en la 1º entrega del Whiteverso, está regalando los mejores momentos de la curiosa relación Batman-Joker vistos alguna vez en el cómic. Y eso sin dejar de lado el potencial humorístico de tener al Joker de "Pepito Grillo Cyberpunk", alocada voz de la conciencia, hacker a tiempo parcial y batfanatico a jornada completa. Sean Murphy se encuentra totalmente inmerso en esta gran saga y lanza sin ningún problema bombazos como la revelación de un nuevo supervillano o esa viñeta final al más puro estilo telenovelesco pero que sin duda rematará la batería de propuestas que tenía preparado Sean desde Caballero Blanco sobre su total revisión a las figuras fundacionales del Batverse.

Great issue, the body switch is really fun and I like Bruce and Harley together

This book actually had a great sense of humor and I love the joker being able to bring out a different side of Bruce

"You should know better than anyone, Bruce - There's no outrunning Batman."

4.5 stars. This is my favorite issue so far. It was action packed and I liked the whole thing of Joker switching places with Bruce. That was really cool and that ending? I'm screaming!
