It's a great classic collection. But missing major villains

There’s a very lovely intro by Alan Grant for this book, outlining what DC was going for by launching yet ANOTHER Baman title, and what his take on it was going to be. That’s the kind of historical background I enjoy!
Grant tells a story about a fan at a convention asking him if he’d seen Silence of the Lambs because SURELY HE MUST HAVE right?? Which is very funny because besides an incarcerated serial killer being the villain, there’s really not much else that links “The Last Arkham” to Lambs.
Speaking of, while there’s plenty of fun one-shots featuring lesser-known villains, I loved “Last Arkham” and Grant’s take on behaviorist psychology taken to extremes (also amusing that his brutal excesses didn’t really move me because LOL Cornelius Stirk and the Scarecrow? Who care frankly).
You can also tell Grant is really on my wavelength with Batman once Arkham releases all his villains in an epic fight and he just… wrecks them all easily?
“He’s a proper athlete… they all just have psychosis going for them”
Haha fuck yeah

I like it.
The story is interesting and I really like the trust and friendship shown between Jim Gordon and Batman.
The Red Herring was obvious, IMO, but still interesting to see that Batman would do that.
Nightwing to the rescue! ;)
