First of all I'd like to mention that I loved the use of colour in this one. Sometimes less is more and using only 2 colours to tell a story always functions in an amazing manner.
The moments between Batman and Gordon were amazing, I'd missed their duo so much. Both of them are men that have lost so much and only really have the other to lean on. The self destruction is real for both of them and neither now how to help the other. Or at least, Gordon can only suspect it in Batman (you can see it in their dialogue from time to time), while Bruce doesn't really ever know how to show that he cares. Renee's birthday issue also made me very emotional, from her talk with Gordon, to Bruce to Harvey to Batman. She deserves so much better. The Ra's al Ghul issues weren't my favourites but the gang bits really reminded me of The Long Halloween Saga which I'll never really get over, so it was nice to experience. The Poison Ivy issue was lovely and a great ending to the few issues we got about her during No Man's Land which were some of my favourites. Seeing the conflicts between the gothamites after no man's land was also great, and I wonder how long the mark of no man's land will keep being obvious on Gotham.
