With the newest chapter of their Batman run, writer Tom King and artist David Finch continue blending the old and the new in Gotham City. Even as Hugo Strange rears his head, the truth behind the origins of super-powered heroes Gotham and Gotham Girl is revealed in this issue. Readers are given a clearer picture of what lays in store for the Dark Knight, which is generally enough to make up for the fact that this book is such a short, breezy read.
King and Finch play on the familiar Batman tropes when it comes to fleshing out the origin of these two new heroes, while at the same time subverting those tropes just enough so that these characters don't come across as blatant retreads. Instead, their story serves as a testament to the inspirational power of Batman. Plus, the investigation into their background allows a suspicious Bruce Wayne to go into undercover detective mode, which is never a bad thing. King and inch could easily have crafted a story where Batman simply butted heads with these two superhero upstarts. But the decision to make them willing allies rather than enemies is more compelling.
