With Snyder's Batman run ending this month, I think it's worth looking back over the last year and asking how we enjoyed this. If you've been with Batman long enough, you'll remember that this is not the first time Batman's been replaced. We had a year of Azrael in the 90s followed by two months of Dick in 1994. Tim very briefly played Batman in "Sins of Youth." Dick filled in again in the 2010s when Bruce was thought dead. Of course, these were all successors to Batman who'd had some part in being trained up to take on the role. Gordon fell into it out of duty, when a corporate-government teaming determined that Gotham City still needed a Batman, even if he was a franchise one.
I've been liking it so far (and I have more thoughts up on tomorrow's "Superheavy" release over here), though the story does have the inevitable setup of "Jim's not up to the job and only the one, true Batman can handle the threat of Mr. Bloom." That's inevitable, and Snyder made no illusions about Bruce returning at the end of this. But I'm curious how the rest of you have felt about Jim Gordon as Batman and whether he's done his part while Bruce was amnesiac.
