Mmkay, so I need to get the entirety of the Death of the Family series so I can fill in all the holes.
Though I didn't need them to understand what was going on, I REALLY want to know what the hell was going on. Plus, I don't know the DC comic lexicon, so I have absolutely no idea who Damian is, and why he's Robin and Dick is Nightwing, it's just all very confusing.
The entire Joker story arc here was amazing. His face in every panel was so intense, so freaking creepy. Really strong ability to take your breath away and possibly give you nightmares.
In related news, the art for this book is far superior to the art for the first 2. Not that they weren't good, but this one blew that work out of the water.
The James back story was intensely disappointing, though. The story arc was great, but as far as villain origin stories, is played out. Sigh. The ending to that was amazing, but doesn't feel like a real ending. I guess I'll see in the next book.
Speaking of which, WTF is with Commissioner Gordon? I mean REALLY. You
Lastly, CATWOMAN! Who, for some reason, looked like Heidi Klum. Interesting. Also, LOVE HER. And yay for more on the Talon storyline. I love Mary, and want to know everything about her, and I want her to be a good guy eventually.
On to the next!

see a Bat person holding your wife rather than, I don't know, slitting her throat, and your first assumption is she's a bad guy who must be arrested for murdering the psychopath that you raised?
