Damn I love the Murphy-verse! It's clear he has a love for the world and character of Batman. What I'm loving the most is the evolution of Harley. (more on that in the next book) The Joker/Jack Napier thing kind of takes a backseat in this one so don't expect it to be a direct follow-up. The evnets in this are linked to the first book and The Joker is responsible, but the main villain/antagonist is Azreal. I like it, it's a character I know almost nothing about and the backstory they give on the fued between him and Bruce goes back to the founding of Gotham which was nice, though the reason for this and Jokers big plan feel a little light to me, I can't see this affecting Batman as much as it does, then again he does get over it fairly quickly in the story. I love the references/changes to the lore with Gordon and Bat-Girl. And I'm curious where Sean will take the story next because he kills off a lot of characters in this one.
