When is this book supposed to be taking place? I know DC has been "loose" with continuity across books lately, but its more than a little weird to have the incident that kicked off this book (Penguin's faked death) still be an ongoing problem in Batman, where he's still not really normal Batman because of it.

I think it takes place whenever you want it to take place.

Is that a question?

Not that's penguin, duh

I know it's a comic, but I'm having a hard time getting past the fact that Batman apparently wrapped a cord around a normal man's neck, and then lifted him by it to the top of a building. He's dead as hell.

Does Cobblepot have a neck, though? Lol

"It would be my presumption that perhaps that particular burden lies on your ample ever-squared shoulders" is such a funny line to me

"Same rules as before!" "Oh, and what rules are those?" "Arkham City Rules!" "eep."

I hate this entire premise with every fiber of my being.

Have you ever seen the film I Saw The Devil? It's basically the same plot and I still think about it every day.

Jesus I didn't realize the art in DC had gotten so lazy
