Batman: Face the Face by Leonard Kirk, Don Kramer, James Robinson
3.0
Very janky story.
On one hand, I loved having the gang back together. I loved having Bruce and Jim and Tim all hanging out together, I missed all of them investigating together, it made me all very happy. This is the format of Batman stories I love the most; mystery happens, Batman and Jim investigate, it's all self-contained and it all makes me happy.
The small bits with Tim also made me happy, finally accepting to be adopted by Bruce, which I've been waiting for for long. Him hugging Bruce??? :(((( Listen I know Bruce is a terrible parental figure, but also I still love him, ok? I also love him substantially more for not having the "pushes everyone away" arc that so many writers seem to love for him.
The reason the rating is not a high one however is because of what they decided to do to Harvey. Like. Uh. ???? You just fixed him up, and then immediately fucked him up. What's that about? You could give him just A BIT more dimension. Just a bit. God. He has feelings too, you know? Also, minus another star for killing the Ventriloquist.
