Batman Streets Of Gotham #3
Bruce Wayne is dead...long live Bruce Wayne! Gotham's favorite son has miraculously returned, promising to lead his city into a new golden age. But while Wayne devotes his limitless fortune to rebuilding Gotham City, he fights violent opposition from Batman, Robin and a host of DC Universe heroes!
And in the Manhunter co-feature, now that Manhunter has found the previous DA's killer - or, rather, the killer has found her - what is she going to do about it? Bringing the killer in for a trial may not result in the justice Kate's been dreaming of. But is she ready to kill for justice so soon after a fresh start in Gotham?

I think all you need to know is that Hush, obviously disguised as Bruce Wayne, has abducted Harlely Quinn, and Catwoman & Poison Ivy are trying to rescue her cuz they're kinda buds now. Strange times brings for strange bedfellows, you know?

@robbydzwonar - Well summarized.
@PraxJarvin - I also dropped "DC Divas". I'm giving this another issue. Unfortunately, Dini isn't working as well for me as I had hoped.

great cover

This is the second best Bat-book right now for me (after Detective). My full list in order you ask? Oh right, you didnt. Anyways ... --
1. Detective Comics
2. Streets Of Gotham
3. Batman & Robin
4. Batman
Last place is a tie -- Gotham Divas (lol) & Red Robin. Both are pretty bad (IMO)
Posted by WadeWilson on 08/18/09 at 12:23 AM
Batman & Robin at number 3, huh?
Posted by edward on 08/18/09 at 01:19 AM
I wish Sirens was as good as this book.

@WadeWilson - B&R at #3? Interesting. Are Detective Comics and Streets of Gotham just incredibly good, in your opinion, or is there something in B&R that you aren't liking?
Posted by stuclach on 08/18/09 at 08:51 AM
Nguyen is really doing some nice covers on this book.
Posted by magnum240 on 08/18/09 at 10:02 AM
Wow, that's a great cover. This has been a pretty solid book so far. Me likey.

There are a substantial numbrer of books that I would try out with this creative team. But I really do not want Dini to leave the Bat family...ever.

this is the only bat book that doesnt suck. screw b&r

@PraxJarvin- Detective is way ahead of the pack for me. I think both 'Streets' & B&R are good books. I am just enjoying 'Streets' slightly more because I like books that cover more of Gotham, & not just focus on Batman.
Posted by WadeWilson on 08/19/09 at 03:17 AM
So far I've been digging this. I want more of Gotham's Cops on the beat.
Posted by JesTr on 08/19/09 at 08:39 AM
@jester- yeah i am definitely enjoying this, but i thought this was supposed to focus on the cops and supporting characters of gotham.
Posted by micahmyers on 08/19/09 at 08:41 AM
This was really, really good. No cops in sight, but who cares-- terrific. And the backup story is good, too. Easily the 3rd best Batbook, behind Batmand and Robin and Detective Comics.
Although I wish all the creators would agree on how old Damian is, and how big he is.

@WadeWilson Actually, Stuclach asked but I was also wondering. ;-_
You know, I don't mind Winnick's run but there's no reason this couldn't have been told in Batman. Loved this issue. 5/5 for me. Close to being my POTW. A great package all around. Even loved the co-feature.
Posted by PraxJarvin on 08/19/09 at 09:24 PM
The moral is, never help the poor, because Batman might need to buy a helicopter.
I like the art in this, but the stories aren't doing a lot for me. Dropping it.
Posted by ohcaroline on 08/20/09 at 12:18 AM
@micahmyers yeah no cops here it seems to focus is on Hush but that isn't a bad thing.
Posted by JesTr on 08/20/09 at 08:30 AM
@ohcaroline Also that Nuns will take money from anyone, no questions asked. ;-)
Posted by PraxJarvin on 08/20/09 at 09:47 AM
@Prax sounds like the confessionals are getting used for something else.
Posted by JesTr on 08/20/09 at 10:14 AM
@Prax Well, they DID think he was Bruce Wayne!
Posted by ohcaroline on 08/20/09 at 02:41 PM
This book was really fantastic. The main tale was put together beautifully, and I loved the "Welcome home Mr. Elliot" moment. This doesn't come to mind when I think of all of my favorite books, but a few more issues like this and it just might. Even the co-feature was pretty darn perfect. Very close to being a 5, but alas, 4/5.
Posted by kwisdumb on 08/20/09 at 10:59 PM
Hush got owned. I really like the Damien Robin and I love his interactions with Hush.
"Don't tell me you are crushing on Katana?" :>
And the art is kicking ASS!
Posted by theegreatone on 08/24/09 at 04:24 AM
This has really shaped up into quite the series. I dropped it's "sister title," so I'm a little worried I'll be missing some of the Hush action.
