Lover of Kings run here, but this issue felt anticlimactic. The ultimate confrontation between Bane and Bruce should’ve been way more knock down and drag out. It kinda feels like he needed to just get to end so he pulled a GoT season 8 on the last few issues. I’m not too bothered with Old Man Thomas being so effective cause I think it’s also an effect of his run being shorten so I imagine a longer fight where a battered Thomas cheats his way to victory or assume something down the line will reveal the source of his strength. Catwoman claiming Gotham was also cool to me, she’s usually depicted as living in the heart of Gotham on its streets for years before Bruce became Batman. She’s got as strong as them I think.
