Anyone who tells you they know how to save Gotham doesn't know what the *** they're talking about

Oh I like her

Huntress appearing in a Bat-book and talking to Oracle feels so 90's/circa 2000's.

I forget, does current Huntress know Batman is Bruce Wayne? Because when Oracle is talking about the police wanting Batman, she's really talking about Bruce, right?

Is Deb Donovan the new Vicki Vale?

I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about Lucius these days.

Nakano's partner wasn't an innocent? I wonder what that's about.

[thwhtGuardian]

This really is the best bat-book on the stands right now

Yes, she was Matron of Spyral who knows Dick's background and therefore knows Bruce is Batman
Deb would be Vicki's boss. As for the role... don't know enough about either to tell

I wonder if the cover artist used Meryl Streep as a model, because that's all I see when I look at her xD

I see it I see it ^^

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

I'm curious what the backups are gonna be like.

[Twice-named]

I don’t understand how Bogdanovic is not one of the hottest artists around.

[SixSpeedSamurai]

I don’t understand how Bogdanovic is not one of the hottest artists around.

I agree, he's certainly better than Mora on Detective.

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

Mr. worth is giving off some Kingpin vibes and I dig it. Dave Bautista should play him in a movie .

3 minutes by Ridley is a fun look at how Lucius views Batman's relationships with Robin and Alfred.

The 2nd backup is the article that Deb wrote.

[Johnatellodi]

Seriously, what happened to Foreman's pencils? His work with Lemire on Animal Man is incredible, but everything I've seen of his lately looks completely lifeless.

hard hard disagree on that.

[Nero]

Right now, Detective Comics is the only Batman book that piques my interest. I'm not hating on what's currently going on with the main Batman comic but too much is going on for me to care whereas with Detective Comics, the story is easier to digest. You know for what it's worth (no pun untended) Mr. Worth is actually kind of interesting, more so than Simon Saint (who's really just an evil version of the late Steve Jobs). Mr. Worth on the other hand is like a cross between Wilson Fisk and Kraven the Hunter and I can dig that.

[hairys]

This is the first issue of Tamaki's run that I really, really dug. Not that I hated the previous ones but I was pretty agnostic / "meh". Like others, I'm digging Mr. Worth, and I think what's going on with Hue Vile is just as interesting, maybe more eventually when it's fleshed out.
