This was a great start. Loeb and Sale are a terrific team and this looks like it will be another excellent read. I really like Loeb's voice for Batman.

Issue 0 or the Prologue establishing what we'd be seeing allows this issue to really breathe and not have to dump exposition on the reader. We're quickly captured into the story introducing the previously absent Falcone brother, a classic Italian mob threat to Sofia, a disconnected Batman, Jim Gordon reeling from his obligations with his job and family, a somber and stoic beat cop who meets with a tragic end to round out this new mystery. Where is Harvey Dent?

Jeph Loeb has written three famous Batman stories using the same formula that looks like a chip off the old block -- but it's not a good one
