Review
Giant reset button hit, resetting things back to how they were when Morrison first started.

I did have an un-vocalized feeling that it was Kathy Kane who was the person behind the organization to bring down Talia. There was a moment when Bruce picked up an old photo and spoke her name, so the reveal doesn't come completely out of nowhere.

For the most part, it was enjoyable. It will probably be a comic that will be enjoyed more in trade or when reading the whole story all over again. Right now it just feels...tiring.

I remember that I felt the same way about New X-Men when Morrison ended it. There were some similar story beats and ideas that went from that run to this Batman run. Maybe that adds a bit to the burned out feel I have for the story.

Strangely enough, there will also be a one shot special where some of the characters from the story line will be highlighted. I'm approaching it with the same way I approached the first couple of issues in New X-Men post Morrison - with a large grain of salt. Something tells me there will be some un-doings of what happened during the story line. But that is to be suspected with superhero comics these days.

I wish I could say more, but it just doesn't feel like the time or place. It was a good story, and one that kept me entertained. I'm sure I'll enjoy the re-read.

I will say, both the regular cover and Morrison's cover are pretty well done.
