This volume reprints DC Comics' Batman issues #692-699. It is an interesting episode in the latest Batman saga, providing you are following the storyline. Dick Grayson has now become the Batman, following the disappearance of Bruce Wayne. The Batman Family are trying to keep the peace in Gotham in Batman's absence, but not doing a great job of it. The Black Mask has reduced Gotham to a state of open warfare, the Falcone crime family is moving back in to town, and the Penguin is hoping to betray the Black Mask. This volume features the unmasking of the Black Mask and the resolution of his current storyline, and the introduction of a new protégé for the Catwoman. The second story, a two-parter, features the Riddler and the secret behind his recent conversion to a private investigator.
The story and art are reasonable, though not exceptional, for a Batman volume.
