Aaaarrggh cliffhanger! The only reason the writers and artists are forgiven is because I can get the next volume immediately from my library. Yet another benefit of reading backlist!
This was off the chain, just ridiculously improbable survival in action-packed scenarios, Brucie baby having officially planned TOO MUCH and yet too little, creating a Matryoshka doll of Batmans with various levels of advisable approaches to the criminal element, 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? Always touching, seeing all those who come to his aid, and those glimpses of how much he cares for them.
Always engaging seeing how the Bat deals with a seemingly unbeatable foe.
I saw absolutely nothing about the Penguin situation coming. I always love a surprise Catwoman moment/focus, as the latter storyline turned out to have.

Robotswithpersonality 3/3 That last story was haunting, but then any narrative focused on Batman's ethics, where he draws the line, and his psychology, how he feels about his actions, his purpose, will suck me in.
On to the next!

Zdarsky's story is solid, but Jimenez's art is world-class. Lots of great guest appearances from members of the Bat Family and Justice League.
