One chapter of "Joker war" is already better than all 11 of "City of Bane." But I really hope after this is over there won't be another Villains-take-over-the-city story for a long time. Still, it is an interesting concept, The Joker stealing everything at Batman's disposal and using it against him. Meanwhile none of his allies are able to help, and Catwoman is only able to watch from Penguin's place with a ton of others just waiting for the right time to take advantage of the situation. Odds are wherever he is, Ra's Al Ghul is also watching with interest, knowing the Detective will triumph, but waiting to see how.
So far "The Joker war" is off to a good start. All I ask of Tynion is not to try and make a name for himself by making Batman finally kill the Joker. Readers have known for decades it could happen, but there's something about this story I have a feeling could be leading up to just that. Though he would return one day, DC knows that would make money, and that's the #1 priority on their minds since Dan DiDio's time: Making money.
