It starts off with Professor Pyg, which I hate, but at least I recognized him. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a villain in this thing. So with Gordon out of the picture, and the police in his pocket, you've got to assume that Falcone the mastermind behind the mystery of the disappearing gun, right? Yeah, not so fast. He buys off the police force, and starts a gang war by blowing up the Ice Casino and putting Cobblepot on the run. Meanwhile, Carmine Falcone is back in town, and intent on taking Gotham back from Penguin. Which I thought was kind of cool for the boys to admit. Only not really babysitting, because, as Jason explains, Batgirl has always been better than all the Robins. Somehow, Batwoman is also pulled into babysitting duty. So, Bruce sends Jason after her to keep her from doing anything too crazy. Like, seriously ragey and a bit unhinged. Jim Gordon gets arrested for manslaughter, and is looking at a life sentence for firing his weapon at an unarmed man, which caused a massive train wreck.īatman doesn't believe he made a mistake, he thinks somehow someone/something caused Jim to think this guy had a gun. The plot is.this is fucking gigantic, so there's a shitload of story. I also didn't realize that 448 pages wouldn't be enough to tell the whole story, meaning that I'd have to wait to read the conclusion when volume 2 comes out. Why didn't anyone tell me it was going to be so.
