Warning: this review contains spoilers for last month's Batman #47!
It seems that Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo are hell-bent on ending the "Superheavy" storyline with a bang. Batman #48 is easily the strongest chapter of the core storyline (rivaled only by issue #44's flashback/tie-in tale). It offers a fascinating reunion between two iconic characters and a deeper glimpse at the true nature of Mr. Bloom and the threat he poses to Gotham City.
The big selling point with this issue is that it chronicles the first encounter between Bruce Wayne and the Joker in the aftermath of "Endgame." Joker finds himself in much the same state as Bruce - amnesic, adrift and trying to cling to the new life he's built while also being terrified of the unknown man he used to be. This is one of those extremely rare cases where Joker could be described as a sympathetic character. That's not to say some of his more sinister qualities don't crop up during the course of the conversation. The two men find themselves locked in a philosophical debate that illustrates the eternal Batman/Joker feud in a more subtle , down-to-earth way. Less punching, more debating.
