Been off of Batman since the War of Jokes and Riddles....but for some reason the City of Bane looks enticing? Sell me on it, sell me against it. Is it worth jumping back in on the Caped Crusader's adventures?

If you like an emotionally crippled, ineffectual, lovelorn Batman who is totally dependant on his erstwhile romantic partner for purpose and to be an effective crimefighter this is the storyline for you. Furthermore, if you've ever wondered what would happen if Batman embraced his inner loathing to a point where he could barely function I'd highly recommend King's run as a whole.
Bane once broke Batman's body now he's broken his mind heck I'd say his spirit as well. I suppose this is one positive or point of interest. Still, IMO, it doesn't make up for the ocean of crap the reader must wade through.

"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
so......in simple English you are saying go for it
It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?
Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.
-Dick Grayson (Batman Inc.)
the lead up to City of Bane was long and pretty boring but City of Bane is a fun (but grim) recontextualization of Gotham under Bane's rules. it's probably the best part of King's run in a while.
THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki
also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.
currently following:
- DC: Red Hood: The Hill
- Marvel: TBD
- Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force
"power does not corrupt, power always reveals."
As the famous Canadian Comedian, Red Green once said - "if it isn't broke you aren't trying". I guess King took this advice to heart especially when it came to Bruce/Batman oh and his supporting cast, his family, his world, his history, his (relative) mental stability, his competency as a crimefighter, well you get the picture.

confused
did our earth batman beaten bane,then thomas wayne shooted him and later he broken back of thoams wayne?
also story seemed to be very confusing
whats ur take
Just to answer question.
From what I am understanding from your question; you are asking: "Did the Prime Earth Batman beat Bane? After that did Thomas Wayne shoot Batman and did Bane break Thomas Wayne's back?"
Yes Batman did beat Bane in a fight.
Thomas Wayne did NOT shoot Batman he was trying to tell Bruce that he should not be Batman and that everything that he did with Bane was to show Bruce how wrong he was.
Bane did break Thomas Wayne's back but we do not know what has happened since then since the new writer has not addressed this yet.
The story can be confusing, but Tom King the writer of the story had to rush and finish his story because he was kicked off the book and because of that the story jumps through time.
My take is that King could have written it better but he simply did not have time.
