Well, well, well....let us find out that Ashley is becoming a little fan of Batman. I enjoyed what Tynion did with Batman 106 so I was really interested in seeing what Tamaki was going to be able to do with him in Detective Comics. In this issue, Batman is no longer wealthy and has to function as Batman in a new and creative way. My biggest issue with Batman has always been his privilege (not a popular opinion, but it's my opinion) and arrogance. I'm extremely interested in seeing how Tamaki is going to explore these changes. Also, Future State gave us the magistrate and these new issues that have been releasing related specifically to Infinite Frontier seem to be building up to what we saw in a possible future. It's fascinating watching Gotham attempt to function as a community following the Joker War now leading into a new society where they don't like vigilantes. It's going to be a heck of a story and I am beyond excited for where this story could potentially go. The artwork was absolutely stunning.
