Gotham Central is from the perspective of a cop and detectives, and not about the superhero.

Even with a superhero around, the Gotham City Police Department officers still have a difficult living and working life. In many ways, these police officers are the real heroes. Indeed, they are Gotham`s finest.

Vol.2 is focussed on Officer Renee Montoya.



This series by Ed Brubaker, Greg Rucka and Michael Lark is very interesting with an engaging storyline.

I love the premise of Gotham Central, and so far it has had excellent execution. This volume in particular had a great story arc, and didn't confuse me with too many unnamed/new characters, the way Vol 1 did.
