17 on Batman #160 reviewThe last issue had a bit of a problem with contrived drama. Fans of Jason Todd would be especially upset, as it rolled back a lot of his character in order to rehash an argument he's been having with Batman for almost 20 years now. The optimist might have seen that and hoped that it…

Supposedly, this issue "concludes" that two-parter before an impossibly even larger Bane shows up next month. I use scare quotes there because this issue is less…

It would provide B-grade schlock horror while moving the plot forward, and I…would have to be ok with that. It’s fine, relationships are all about adjusting to suit each other's…
