    Tynion can't get into Harley's voice at all
    Its fine if you just have her say jokes and act stupid if you are have next to no familiarity with her mindset.
    Why would she want Joker dead? If she wanted Joker to die she would do it herself obviously. This is further pushed home by her own series. She wouldn't ask Batman to kill Joker either



    This is a character who kills all the time why would she need someone else to kill for her?
    Imo that moment probably should have went to someone like Jason or Babs
    Having Harley deliver it seems too out of character because honestly why would she care about Gotham being destroyed or the people who are dying? There's no connection there for her
    In fact you could probably replace Harley entirely this arc with Selina and I see very little changing.

    This is one of those times where you can tell someone is just stuffing Harley Quinn into moments that just don't fit the character and I'm saying that as a huge fan mind you.

    And they just left Punchline tied up to escape. There's nobody smart in this arc in the previous arc Bruce at least made the effort to lock up Deathstroke, Cheshire, and co

    Clownhunter, Ghosthunter.. Wow they starts to become very uncreative with new codenames and identities. What's next, Demonhunter? Crocodilehunter?

    Same.

    Can hardly believe that after the hype ending of the previous issue and with Dick Grayson as Nightwing on the cover, this issue still had barely any interaction with the Batfamily and instead focused on a fairly nonsensical Harley. Again.
    People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

    Wasn't aware Nightwing belonged to Bruce Wayne.
    Or is he just Nightwing's Tailor. #Batmansews

    Funny but I think DragonPiece got the name wrong, it's Ghost Maker. Not that it's a better name,

    Loner Batman started long before Didio and a lot of the thing's that Tynion teased seem to be getting some bite back.

    Tim doesn't seem to be swapping to Robin, Cass and Steph don't seem to taking up the batgirl mantle.

    The one restoration that's been done is Nightwing which was advertised before Tynion so is thanks to Tynion.

    I think that the main supporter for loner Batman is WB

Now he is back to realizing he needs allies again.

    Given how smart Bruce is supposed to be, he can be downright dumb when it comes to his partners etc.
    Agree with the last point.
    If he was smart he would have stooped taking on non powered allies after Jason.

    Loner batman is a corporate preference not to mention that most creatives prefer him without a gaggle of Bat themed allies

    Oh, my mistake. I did a double take and googled it and even bleeding cool mentioned ghost hunter in the past, which is why I didn't correct it at first lol. https://bleedingcool.com/comics/jame...or-batman-100/

    There are a lot more people who prefer "Loner Batman" then just corporate and certain writers, though. Many readers and spectators on these very forums attest to prefer some variation of "Loner Batman", eschewing and often denouncing the Batman Family, with usually Alfred and maybe Jim Gordon as the only exceptions (and sometimes not even them).

    Ghost-maker is a cool name, though.

    I don't think handing Dick his costume means he "owns" Nightwing, he's just letting Dick express who he is better.

    Then he probably wouldn't have had any allies in the fold until Duke showed up, unless we count Cass' abilities as powers.

    Ironically, some writers prefers "Loner Batman" so they can build "new relationship" between "lonely Batman" and their created characters or characters whom they like. Synder is one of the example, and King maybe even though unlike Synder I think he never states that he prefers "Loner Batman".
