This opening act was alright, but boy, is there a lot going on that makes it feel a bit cluttered with the many perspectives at hand.

I decided to re-read this one since finally picking up its sequels. It was as great to read the second time around and even more so now that I finally get to find out what happens next. This is easily a must-read for any fans of the Bat Family.

This is the 2nd book in the war games storyline and it kicks things off big time .
The book showcases how a gang war is started across Gotham City by an unknown miscreant resulting in the cities law enforcement and the Bat family being stretched thin .
The book is very much grounded in reality , focussing on the idea of a mass riot and full fledged multi-gang war . No supervillains are seen , and so no convoluted plans involved . In between we deal with Nightwing-Oracle-Tarantula storyline , the Leslie Thomkins and Bruce storyline , the Retired Robin storyline and it all culminates in a school shootout where the bat family displays their skill to perfection .
The scenes of actions are simply superb the story is grounded in reality and feasible and every thing is fast paced and entertaining. Love this and i can't wait to go for the 2nd act
