4.0
I'm currently rereading all the Batman books I own in chronological order. This was as hard to read as the first time around. I think at this point it's almost impossible to read this without knowing how it's going to end, but even if you didn't know - Batman's exhaustion is so palpable in here it's heartbreaking. And he keeps going on despite people telling him to stop.
He never gave up, the Mayor says at one point. The Batman. He doesn't know what it means to surrender.
It's depressing as hell, and Bruce's behavior is frustrating, to say the least, but this is an important part of canon (and the first part of the sentence is true for a lot of Batman books), so a must read for anyone interested in Batman. And all the better if you know that Prodigal comes right after this :D
