Book one of the #24in48 #readathon. Whoa this was intense! I love the discussion of the unintended consequences of Batman's war.

Off to a late start. Slept in way late because I was exhausted from crying. I'm not sure I'll hit 24 hours but I'll try.

Still pretty rough in the dialogue and some of the pacing and action beats don't hold together as well as you would hope, but overall still a good team superhero book that makes strong use of the wide-ranging cast of characters. Tynion is showing signs of improvement over his less engaging earlier work, though it is still much too blunt, and the art here is wildly uneven, but on the whole, DETECTIVE COMICS is still working for me, if only barely.
