Batman #20 is a comic that probably shouldn't work as well as it does. On some level, it's basically a flashback issue that races Batman's journey over the course of the series, interspersed with images of Batman and Bane beating the snot out of one another. And in the hands of a less talented creative team, maybe that's all this issue would amount to. But what Tom King, David Finch and Jordie Bellaire deliver is a worthy finale to the "I Am Bane" story arc and a proper end-cap to King's work so far.
King's goal in revisiting recent events clearly isn't just to fill space or offer readers a refresher course, but to solidify the themes of his run. This issue builds directly on the notion of Batman's mortality and the fact that he knows his days are numbered. This entire conflict came about because the Dark Knight saw in Gotham and Gotham Girl a way to keep his city safe after his own life is extinguished. Now, with Bane having overcome every obstacle and the final battle well underway, Batman's death seems closer than ever.
