Not particularly sure about this. On one hand, we see Detective Comics placing emphasis on ratiocination, to the point that we see a military-grade Jim Gordon on a military-grade Batsuit. This brings me, on the other hand, to the question of replacing Wayne with a Batman who leans more to the law rather than on his own habits and preferences as the Dark Knight. In the end, some things just don't seem to fit with Gordon being Batman.

Very enjoyable. Exactly what I want in 'Detective Comics'. Actual mysteries opened and closed in a single arc. Well done.

The first story in this about the serial killer with the masks was enjoyable because it actually brought the "detective" into the Detective Comics. Also, his wall of masks reminded me of the House of Black and White from Game of Thrones so.. there's that. I just really enjoyed the mystery.

The other story in Afghanistan was dumb. There just wasn't anything there. No mystery, no intrigue. Just Bat-Gordon and his old squad fighting a random mummy. The art was good, and if there had been more backstory it might have been interesting, but meh.
