Very good, but it now seems eminent that King and DC won’t do the actual daring thing that would truly take the characters in a new direction. Predictable if disappointing.

A bit slow but a good confrontation, more mentally then physically, between the Joker and Catwoman!

I seriously don't understand how some people can hate King's writing. He always manages to build depths over depths of characterization with just a bunch of dialogues. He took those characters who have existed for ages and made them everything they've ever been while still keeping them his own. He's put everything I love and cherish about Batman into one timeline, and it's just as heartbreaking and true and human as I thought it'd be. And he's even managed to summarize his own run in this one: chaos and order, working together to continually create and destroy and build back the Batman. I pity the poor fellow who will have to take the mantle once King's done with this...
I do have one critic though. How are Bat and Cat so chill about everyone knowing their getting married? They're not doing it as their scowl personas. They're doing it as Bruce and Selina, and having everyone know about that means they've invited destruction into their little corner of happiness. I mean, it's highly possible they know what they're doing and how bad it will turn out to be, because like Selina said they're both misery trying to have a second of happiness. Are they so convinced it's bound to fail that they're making sure it does? Is King just being lazy because he wants these two to interact with everyone in the DC universe too badly to pretend their identities are secret? At the moment, it bothers me a bit, but since he's turned everything that bothered me before into gold, I'll wait and see :)
