Pure detective story in which Batman solves a mystery
Batman taking on 'ordinary' street crime or the Mob

Batman as a superhero fighting larger-than-life threats (alien, supernatural, technological etc.)
Character pieces about Batman or a supporting cast member
I chose options 1,2, & 5. Although, if I could only choose one option, it would be the “pure detective stories” one. He’s supposed to be the world’s greatest detective, after all... unless that has changed somewhere along the line. :/ I find those the most enjoyable anyway.

Once again they found themselves trapped in front of the abyss.”

Triumphant is one of my favs, it's where Bruce straight up says that Oswald is smarter than he is. Pain and Prejudice is amazing as well. There was this one story that I can't put my finger on where Penguin grew bored of the Iceberg Lounge and wanted to pull off a classic crime one last time...

Anybody remember when we last had an " 'ordinary' street crime or the Mob " Batman story in either the main Batman book or his feature in Detective Comics?
And who was the writer?
