I had a major problem with the premise of the book... I thought some of the lines didn't ring true... and there were places where I thought the art was a bit iffy.

I LOVED THIS ONE!

This was really good omg and so it takes place after one year from infinite crisis and we see Batman returning to Gotham but what he finds is villains dying like KGBeast, Magpie and later on orca and he is working with a reformed Bullock and Gordon and we see them solving the case and also in between focus on Tim and like how he has gone through so many things in that time and Batman trying to think what to do with him and then also focus on the villains and we see them suspect that Harvey as Two-face is back and then what that confrontation leads to and its interesting and heartbreaking at the same time and its a whole load of detecting around until the real villain
Spoiler White Stark and his hench-man Tally man
is revealed and its an intriguing reveal, not what I was expecting but it changes so many things!

I like how Robinson keeps it simple and builds on the mystery and has other villains show up like Ivy and some Fire villain and showcasing the partnership of Batman and Robin in such a fun way and it makes for a terrific read and I love the camraderie and in the ending what Bruce does, that scene is so perfectly done and it makes you feel for Tim! <3

And as for the villain not something I had seen coming but then again it might be a way to establish a new rivalry and it seems interesting and I like/hate the trajectory of Two-face like after giving him such an arc, reverting him to the status quo feels like a lazy attempt but the other logic could be like you feel bad for this man, he came so far only to be pushed back even afar.

So overall a cool story with fun battles and aventures, team up and it involves most of Batmans rogues galleries with interesting reveals in the end and a promise for even crazier things to come!

Granted, I'm not too well-read on Batman (or much DC stuff at all), but I thought this was a pretty solid read; at least, on a plane.
