For the last 9 months Jim Gordon has acted as Batman while an amnesic Bruce Wayne is living a normal life. It’s been a great story, with a fun alternate take on the Batman mythos and a lot of personal themes going on behind the story. Mr. Bloom is a very threatening villain and he just seems to get more and more dangerous with each issue. In the last entry, everything went from bad to worse, and it seems that Jim was killed in the chaos. Bruce came to a realization at the end of the issue – the realization that Gotham City needs the real Batman. This review will contain spoilers, but the ending isn’t much of a surprise once you start reading this comic anyway.
