Some more great artwork from Jim Lee and a surprisingly suspenseful story by Jeph Loeb that only suffers from the need to wrap things up too tidily. It's always great to have a new character introduced into a long running series, especially when they can stand alongside traditional rogues gallery villains. Loeb writes in a ton of cameos for Lee to draw, and while some add great depth and personality to Bruce Wayne and his storied relationships, others are just throwaway visits that do little to boost the story line. All in all, a very welcome take on Bruce Wayne and Batman that exists within "continuity" which offers some intriguing complications to the story line. A good read for anyone interested in "jumping in" to comics.
4 1/2 stars out of 5
