wow, what a cliff hanger. Bane isnt someone to mess with. Good arc to the next issues.

Great start to the Bane storyline. And I do really like King's dialog. Especially Alfred's.

starts off in Arkham with band trying to get at psycho pirate.
Bruce meets with the bat family at batburger. He says his burger with a fork and knife. Jason and Damion reference having been dead. Duke askes if he will be dead at some point. Bruce says no one will be dead, not after Tim.
Duke walks out and says he's listening to Batman. Duck says he's smart for it.
Catwoman signals batman, Batman warns her about bane, Gordon bust into the roof, she gets away.
Bruce is taking Gotham Girl for a session. She freaks out . There are 3 bodies hanging by there necessity "I am Bane" spelled out in them.

Killer croque monsier got me. I have no clue what was going on prior to this as I haven’t read the other volumes/issue in this series but I still enjoyed it. I would read the rest.

Got the “Harley Quinn Batman Day Takeover” issue. Loved the Harley scenes too!

Batman is my favorite superhero of all time and I'm trying to devour as many issues as possible :)

Goodness, how disturbing. Still not sure where King is taking this re: Catwoman, but the stuff about the Robins is great an ties in nicely with everything that's going on with Tim and the Detective arc.

I hate to admit it, but "Killer Crocque-monsieur" and "Night-wings" made me snort. Also, the "Keep sticking it to the man. One fry at a time.". It's nice to have some lighter moments in a Batman comic. And, of course, it's always delightful to see the bat-boys (I'm not sorry) together, being as normal brothers as possible. I doubt Bruce would eat a hamburger with his fork&knife, though. Dude's been literally everywhere, he's been imprisoned, had to fight for his food... so unless he's putting up a show for the public (which I doubt, no one seems to care he's there, plus he's spending time with his adopted sons, I'm sure people don't believe the "rich douchebag" act anymore), there's no way Bruce Wayne wouldn't be comfortable in this situation. I mean, sure the fast-food's theme is awkward, but apart from that I'm pretty convinced he doesn't feel out of place there. Actually, I'm sure he feels more at home than he does at fancy parties. I know it's a silly detail, but it bothered me that King portrayed normal!Bruce the exact same way pretend-rich-jerk!Bruce is portrayed. And don't even get me started on them discussing their other identities so openly in a public place. Gosh.

In conclusion: nice issue, although the characterization is a bit all over the place once again.
