This particular team up between Swamp Thing and Batman is forced, contrived, and surreal.
The ending, in particular (spoilers) is... stupid.
A man (who happens to be upon Interpol's most wanted list, and is a decorated assassin), armed, wearing a bandoleer of ammunition, sporting a "Storm" level mohawk is inside an art gallery... goes unnoticed by security staff, police, batman-cameras...
The absurdity that we need Swamp Thing to tell us where this retarded assassin is... is absurd. ABSURD.
Let's look at this from the assassin's viewpoint as well, shall we?
Step 1: Kill this guy because he's Swamp Thing's Dad.
Step 2: WALK INTO A PUBLIC PLACE AND TAKE NO ACTION TO DISGUISE MY CLEARLY ILLEGAL ATTIRE
Step 3: Notice Batman (who strolls in casually behind the villain with no regard to stealth, intimidation, or bystander safety)
Step 4: Get totally eaten by Swamp Thing.
I... I can't...
This entire series is written like a strange attempt at a batman elseworlds. Not just this issue, but CERTAINLY this issue is garbage.
