They should cut her hair. Having the Luchador mask with a tiny hole at the back for her massive hair is really awkward.

"First wife?" Is Sarah Essen back in continuity?

I think in the New 52 Babs sr. abandoned the family and didn't take James Jr. with her, but Tynion's going back to that she took James with when she left...which then begs the question why she didn't take her biological daughter too unless they've retconned back in the niece origin, but I guess we could assume Babs was old enough to want to stay with her dad.

Of all the ridiculous things about this "daughter of Bane," that seems at least forgivable because this is the DC Universe.

Oof, that's a horrible cover. Is Joker flashing us? And I thought we'd agreed that a collection of floating heads was crap back in the 90's.

I've found March's work really inconsistent on this book so far and the preview looks to continue that.

Joker num 5 was fantastic... That's imo the best issue tynion has done on a batman comic so far. More of that please!!!

One very minor nit... "Mazzuchelli Towers"... I know that naming buildings/streets/neighborhoods in Gotham after creators has become a thing, but it's so overused at this point that it's no longer cute and just takes me out of the story, albeit briefly.

I noticed that we well. It didn't really bother me cause mazz certainly deserves it. It's better than " Snyder college " which is lame as hell

Sure, but I don't think Mazz cares either way. Until like 3 years ago or whatever, this trend was virtually non-existent and so all the legends of this industry never even thought about having streets and buildings named after them in the comics as being part of their legacy.

I feel like it's more of a media thing than a comic thing, but I guess it happens in the comics too.

I remember them doing it back in Batman: The Animated Series
