There’s one week between Batman 78 and 79 release. Do we really think the editors had time to gauge fan reaction and add that footnote to 79?

I think they need to stop with constantly replacing Batman. After this run they just need to get back to Bruce being a competent hero and detective as well as father. Get back to fighting and beating criminals not just getting his ass hands to him and needing to be saved all the time. I get people were tired of BatGod but this is too far in the other direction. They need to find a happy medium.
Sigh. I'm not reading Batman outside some issues, but reading your commentary, people, I feel like I'm going to pass this run forever, definitely.
I liked his other works, and I was kind of shipping Selina and Bruce, but...

So this issue...

Was again fluff. The only insight was that Damian was sent by Bruce which makes Alfred's death all the more tragic and preventable.

So, again, Bruce is father of the year ?
At that point, I'm starting to suspect that he wants his bastard son to die/be chased away so he can get a legitimate heir/ess with Selina...

Well at least Bruce DID contact his family though why send Damian? He sent he in to face not just Thomas and Bane but GG alone? Why didn't he call any of the JL?
Also aren't father and son supposed to be estranged? Though somethings are bigger than their falling out.
I'm not going to judge till I've read it myself but glad to know Bruce did contact his allies in Gotham.

Afred signalling he was safe was the most wacky development I read in the issue given how it all turned out.
