At this point Gotham probably has more explosions than some war zones.

Art looks phenomenal.
I guess they've finally resolved that "will Two-Face find out Bruce Wayne is Batman?" subplot.
Question is what do you do after that? Feels like Ram eventually will just have to somehow put it back where it was.

God, I hope not. Taking a page from Tynion, I've been loving the idea that the present day canon for the Batbooks is at a half-way point between the classic era and Batman Beyond. Permanent status quo changes - Alfred's death, Joker and Two-Face knowing Bruce is Batman, etc. help cement that this era is moving the canon forward.

Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
Right, the superhero Shining Knight hit Riddler in the head with a mace in Infinite Crisis #7 and later Dini confirmed that Riddler indeed forgot the secret identity.

I guess . . Mace to the face is helpful with superhero folks.

We're at part 8 now and we don't seem very near to the ending.
There are still just so many unanswered questions here...when did Ten Eyed Man become a doctor?What do the Orghams want? What is Azmer? What do lay lines have to do with any of this?

Ley lines seem to have to do with bedrock for creating Lazarus Pits at the very least, and perhaps also Barbatos. And that's according to DC's own blog in 2022:
https://www.dc.com/blog/2022/11/07/s...-a-lazarus-pit"[T]he physician [Ra's] found areas on the planet where global ley lines that direct the flow of magic intersect with one another and where a carefully tested chemical mixture could form a Lazarus Pit. The pit, of course, is named after the biblical figure who rose from the dead, for that is what the pit could do. What Ra’s al Ghul didn’t know is that the bedrock of these pits, these global junctions between Earth’s intersecting ley lines, contain the heavy metal element of Dionesium, sent to Earth millennia ago by the multiversal bat demon Barbatos. In its original meteoric form, it’s what gave Vandal Savage his own immortality."
