I liked this idea, but I'm not sure the execution is the right way to do this. 'Battle for the Cowl' sounds fine, but it feels like the road to nowhere.
Does ANYBODY really believe that Bruce Wayne will not be back in the Bat-Mantle someday? I for one don't believe it. It does not FEEL like it either.
It feels like the '90's, when Azreal took over for broken-back Bruce. Maybe some interesting stories and plot development COULD come out of this, but I'm not captivated based on this issue.
I'd like to be surprised here, but I learned just as much from the book description.
The art was choppy and inconsistent. Gave me a Bat-headache.
Buy this one if you are a completest, and raging Bat-fan.
If not, go buy some back issues.
