Batman: Battle for the Cowl by Tony S. Daniel
3.0
Just to be clear , i read all the companion pieces to this book as well , making it 16 individual books and a grand total of 400 odd pages .
This followed the events of Batman's death , and we witness how everyone is dealing with the aftermath. As usual the most affected by the death is Gotham , which has become a hell hole worse than what it was when batman actually started .
The whole psyche of Jason Todd and his descent into what he became along with how Jim Gordon comes to accept the harsh truth of Batman's absence is what truly got me.
That said the story felt hollow with how some of the closer allies like Damian , Barbara, Alfred were dealing with the loss .
Nightwing's reaction weren't much better either nor was Selina's .
Overall i was also disappointed with the whole treatment of Jason , but the art style is slick and the action good . Overall a decent book, but not worth re-reads
