I didn’t dislike Gordon’s Batman like I was expecting to. The cigarettes bit was cute, and I really like the design of Mr. Bloom

I'm torn, but it's a 3.5, if I'm being kind. It's just, well... There's plenty of thought and direction to what goes on. But, yes. It's not what you'd call entertaining and hey, I guess that lessens the value for some!
I'm split. Half of me screams of desperate disappointment and the other nods enthusiastically about changing it up and doing something that enters the inner workings of each character and precisely what their goals are.
But, ha! It's a stellar run either way.

One thing I love about the Snyder/Capullo run is that it draws from all eras of Batman and spins it into something that feels new and fresh. Literally in this case, with a new Batman.
That feeling of freshness and of Gordon taking centre stage while grasping with what Batman is means I can forgive that wobbly excuse for story - amnesia. Bruce may have no idea who Batman is but Snyder and Capullo sure do and they aren't afraid to take it somewhere new.

Right after the Endgame event Gotham is being rebuilt, but there's no Batman and the city is violent as always, the government creates a "Bat suit" to protect the city, but this new Batman works under the law, who he is? Jim Gordon.
He changes his look and works out to protect the city as the new Batman, he's going to fight this enemy called "Bloom".
But wait a minute... Bruce Wayne is alive, he is living low key, he's got a girlfriend and he work in a charity house for kids, also he's got no intention in going back to the old Bruce.
