This is my favorite current DC title. Batwoman helps Batman assemble a team of former villains--Orphan, Spoiler, and Clayface--along with Red Robin to fight crime. Tynion IV is a great storyteller.

Tynion's dialogue is pretty rough, but otherwise, DETECTIVE COMICS is his best superhero work by a mile, a good use of Gotham's supporting cast that plays to his artists' strengths and gives its heroes fun, cool action beats that play beautifully within the semi-rushed story. Not as sophisticated as the core BATMAN book, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Bought the individual issues to this arc, and it's great stuff. James Tynion IV shares my love for the third Robin, Tim Drake, who goes by Red Robin these days. I enjoyed seeing someone write a story with Tim that gets him right. I also loved that Tynion is giving each character in the series time to shine. Hell, I'm even digging Clayface as a protagonist, and I was really skeptical about that. #Batman #DetectiveComics #RedRobin #TimDrake #Gotham

Joshsandaker Interesting. There's quite a few Batman series and I've been reading Scott Snyder's 'All-Star Batman' and Frank Miller's 'DKIII: The Master Race' but I've been looking to get into a regular Bat series. Might check this out. 7y
BillBlume @Joshsandaker I've heard good things about All-Star Batman, but haven't checked it out. Too many comics, too little money. 😿 7y
