@Wade - Yeah, I kind of agree. I've been enjoying the hell out of this title, and kinf of kidding myself that it wasn't too long. But now we're at the end, I can totally agree that at least 2 issues of this weren't needed and were just overlong fight sequences. Really well done fight sequences, but still the story felt stretched.
Still, overall, a good Batbook with an interesting angle. And it's been out regularly, so I'll buy Tieri a pint if I ever meet him.

This whole series was so up & down -- it had some really good moments & story points, and some really bad ones.
So, we got a fun, action-packed series that wasn't perfect, that sets up the new status quo in the Gotham Underworld ... too bad we won't get to see Batman handle any of these guys for a while with R.I.P. goin' on. Sadly, the way DC continuity is going these days, I wouldn't be surprised if Intergang & Tobias Whale are never even mentioned again in Batman comics.
But, I hope I'm wrong.

I've enjoyed this book (mostly) ... but I'm glad it's over. It went three or four issues too long. Too many issues where there was no plot & all fighting for my tastes ... and I love action in comics.
