Absolutely nothing of substance happened this entire arc other than introducing a bunch of Clown OC's and another "original" villain who knows Batman's identity. Worst part is they devoted the previous arc to setting up Joker War. Tynion may be a good horror writer but I've seen nothing from him that suggests he should be writing DC's premium title.

The only highlights of this issue was the fact that Bruce Wayne is a tax-evader. A fact that makes no sense given the extremely trivial information provided in the issue. Off-shore accounts, really? Did Tynion just pick the first thing that Google came out with when it comes to Tax-Offences for high net-worth individuals? Also, the big "reveal" was incredibly underwhelming and predictable. An 8 issue arc that only acts as a set-up for Joker War. Mediocre at best unless you want mindless action with decent art.

This entire arc up until now could've been done in 2 issues. What's even more disappointing is the fact that the previous arc also led up to this. Will be dropping this book after #100

Good issue, liking the JL appearances
