This is kind of an odd storyline, for the most part it is kind of down to earth and even kind of political, but then there is this very silveragy train scene that feels totally out of place.

I agree. I couldn't really bring myself to read the panels with Vicki Vale, Batman and Joker. I even jumped over some of Joker's text bubbles because he talked so much without being interesting at all.
But I'm also biased. Vicki Vale hasn't caught my interest so far, and I don't enjoy the Joker in general.
My favorite part of the story arc is actually Harvey Bullock and his remorse that Gordon nearly died because of his little prank.
