What an almost unreadable mess. This is exactly the kind of comic book writing that keeps people away from comics. Chock full of unexplained or just inexplicable motives, unless you've been reading everything leading up to this, perhaps. The art is kinetic but has no style (there is, as is typical with lazy artists, only one female body available, apparently).

And are we to believe Batman is almost insanely driven to save a girl just because he knew her when [spoiler alert] his parents were still alive, even though she lost his kite.

And then they throw in some unrelated (story-wise) pages at the end to tie a sloppy bow on this mess of a collection.

Finch is a brilliant artist, and this book is no exception, but the story leaves a lot to be desired. It's just a mess of plot holes, unexplained leaps and unresolved threads that seem to appear purely to go nowhere. Very strange and very disappointing.
