So trading this.

A apocalyptic future where Gothamites are forced to barricade themselves into Arkham Asylum to survive, led by Barbara Gordon...

Call me crazy but I think I've seen this before.

Yanick art was great. Story will likely pick up at the end, possibly almost as cool as the first few issues. Momentum is pretty dead for me, though. But there were a couple things I dug a lot, and they were Barbara's backless shirt - because constantly growing bat-wings need your clothes tailored just so. And the best part of the whole issue for me was Swamp Thing with Bane's Venom-pumps strapped to him, that's just a lovely high-concept.

I don't know, to me this whole issue felt a lot like Snyder was trying too hard, just dumping one huge concept after another on the page without giving the story a proper flow. I think the whole Rotworld-business has been a huge letdown after the incredibly strong first arc on Swampy, and I won't loose any sleep after Snyder leaves the title in a few issues.

I sorta agree. I still enjoy Rotworld but the whole thing has dragged on too long and lost lot of momentum. After the spectacular rebirth of Swamp Thing in issue 7, the following arcs have been rather random and less stellar compared to the first.
