2019 marked the end of writer Tom King's nearly four-year-long run on DC's flagship Batman comic. King's story isn't quite finished, as he and artist Clay Mann are working on the spinoff series Batman/Catwoman. But as for Batman proper, writer James Tynion IV and artist Tony S. Daniel face the unenviable task of following up on one of the best Batman runs of the 21st Century. Unsurprisingly, Batman #86 works best taken on its own merits rather than as an extension of the previous 85 issues.
King had spent much of 2019 teasing a huge change to the Batman mythos at the end of "City of Bane," one he suggested could alter the franchise for a generation or more. That change turned out to be not some earth-shattering plot twist, but the simple notion that Bruce Wayne has decided to finally be happy. Thanks in large part to The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One, Batman has spent the past four decades as a brooding avenger of the night. A return to an era where Batman was more a swashbuckling detective who actually smiles once in a while is no small matter. The catch is that this is a change to which DC actually needs to commit, or else Batman immediately reverts to the status quo.
