It is nice to see Batman be stretched to bring forth more depth to Gotham. We got a taste of Bruce Wayne's ancestral life in The Return story arc, now we move to Gotham and its secrets. In the present batman must deal with the Penguin and the introduction of a deadly substance to the streets of Gotham.
We see more characters from Batman Incorporated in this issue. This is my first encounter with the franchise and it does not seem unnatural, so I may have to get Batman Inc. to see where it leads me.
There is a mystery brewing and the Batman family is on top of it. It should be a good ride.
