Batman, Volume 9: Bloom by Scott Snyder

3.0

This volume had some hits and misses. The return of Batman was wonderful and every bit as satisfying as I had hoped (even if the way it happened was some real comic book nonsense) and Bloom was an interesting and entertaining new villian who was creepy enough to give me actual nightmares. Most of the Gordon stuff still didn't really capture my attention and I'll just say for the record that comics should be banned from any plotlines that involve reincarnation, cloning, amnesia and any combination of the above. This had all three and is why it didn't rank higher despite my enjoyment of Batman's inevitable return to the cowl and the satisfaction of his eventual victory.
