Jorge Jimenez dibuja y narra a Bruce con Damian, preparando todo para lo que se viene a la noche, mostrando como Batman siempre trabaja 5 o 6 pasos adelante versus la espontaneidad de Chico Maravilla

Lee Weeks también tiene doble rol, entregando la primera historia centrada en el comisionado Gordon (que se agradece que haya vuelto, aunque sea en una serie secundaria como The Joker) enfrentando fantasmas del pasado

Mariko Tamaki se aleja aun más del Caballero Oscuro, rescatando a la esposa de Harvey Dent (me atrevería a decir que desde la época de los New 52 que no la veiamos rondando) y como tomar las cosas por las mangas, arte impecable de Lupacchino y von Grawbadger

Gillen con McKelvie llevan todo al siguiente nivel. Una elige-tu-propia-aventura que, en un principio llega a ser irritante, pero con un plot que hace que valga completamente la pena. Probablemente la mejor historia no del numero, sino del volumen. Aplausos por tomar el formato Black and White y explotarlo a su máximo potencial

Campbel imita a Weeks y Jimenez, con la doble labor, centrada en el favorito personal de quien escribe, Nightwing, repasando su historia de cabo a cabo

all the stories were good and all the art was great, it was really fun seeing two of my favorite artists (Jamal Campbell and Jorge Jiménez ) in the black and white art style for a full comic

but the best part of the comic was the Ridler story, the Ridler is my favorite batman villain and he has a lot of good stories, but the one in this book has to be one of the best, if not that then it's at least the most creative, and personally it's for sure going to be one of the stories I think of when thinking of what are my definitive Ridler stories

All the stories were great. Great art. Gillen's broke me, I actually drew out trees of his CYOA story. Loved it.
