Batman: Detective Comics, Vol. 4: Deus Ex Machina by James Tynion IV
3.0
I just want Tim back! Is that too much to ask? And more Zatanna please!
The Detective Comics series gets harder for me to enjoy. For me, they are definitely hit or miss based on whose individual arc is being explored. I like characters such as Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, and Lucas Fox. But other characters like Clayface, Kate, Azrael I don't know enough about their pasts to find them engaging.
Azrael was the main focus of this volume, but I'm not familiar enough with his backstory to find it very compelling. And not enough information was given within the volume to give me a clear picture. The villain was pretty lackluster.
Batman doesn't have an active role in this series. He didn't help with Azrael. His only role seems to be bringing heroes together. Plus it is hard to see how the Detective Comics tie into the timeline of the Batman series.
