This book actually contains ‘new gotham’ and an extra batman/gordon flashback arc. It’s leading up to fugitive/murderer but does not contain any of it in this volume. I really enjoyed the simple 2 tone colouring but this made the extra’ story feel kind jarring in comparison as it was in full colour. This volume almost had a gotham central type feel, except it was focused around bruce/gordon more than the gcpd in general. Nothing special to note, just a fun read.
A good bumper collection if stories. The art work was cool from the deceive comics stories & also has a series called turning points added too. Seems more the set up for the story it’s named for than the actual story mind you.
