Laid back and relationships? We are to believe Batman has found out Alfred is dead and Damian kidnapped, but then we get a therapy issue?
Venom2796 reviewed Batman #79 Sep 18, 2019
I enjoyed this issue a lot. While it doesn't entirely drive the story forward, it is advertised as an interlude so I can give that a pass. It is an issue that is needed because when and if, Batman and Catwoman end up together in the end, you can't say that they just got together with no build up.

In the concluding chapter of the two-part "City of Bane" interlude, Batman and Catwoman pull a job to stop Bane's supply ship from smuggling dangerous cargo into Gotham City. It'll send a message back to the big guy that his reign of terror is soon to be over...but what does it also signal for the future of Bruce and Selina?

I consider that, nobody in their right mind, will criticize Mann's art in this issue, it is absolutely incredible. It is a 10 out of a 10. It is one of the most beautiful drawings I have seen in several years and the colors do not detract at all. The problem will focus on the script and the dialogues of Tom King but no one should be surprised. A few numbers to conclude his stage, he will not chang more

Tom King is a goner, so I'm presuming that this arc is toast within 12 months of his departure. That makes reviewing this little escapade as anything more than the oddity that it is...well, kinda pointless. I don't mind the "City of Bane" arc itself, but the "how we got here" part with Thomas Wayne was dreadful. But I digress, and I don't want to continue beating up on the soon-departed. more

I really liked it.
I can already see people complaining about how this is filler but I think that it's good to finally have a more laid back issue that focuses on Bruce and Selina's relationship, especially after they were separated for so long. I thought that it was well written, heartwarming and beautiful. The art is so good I don't think I know a word to describe how good it is. And more

^^This! And even though it's an interlude, it's still crucial to the overall story. It answers the thesis to King's entire run: can Bruce be happy and still be Batman?
Bruce HAS been happy before. And this idiotic interlude is only important because King is forcing it to be. It still makes zero sense. Why did those guys even know what could beat Bane? Nothing makes sense.

We know more about Wally, is the still alive? “Watch my death” why?, Why he rescues Ivy? Finally our heroes, booster-blue-batgirl and Harley, teams up and have a plan. What will do Batman? He found them, what’ll happen?
We haven’t learned anything new about Wally though. The whole Booster, Harley, BB and Batgirl thing made no sense and was poorly written. The Ivy reveal was dumb. I thought the issue was more of the same waste of time that the entire event has been. At least you liked it though. A 10 doesn’t seem realistic but as long as you like it.
