Haven't really been keeping up with Batman. I read spidey and DD though. The last thing I read that was Batman was one of the wargames stories. It confused me and dis-interested me in the rest of the story. I loved DKR but didn't like DKRSB. Miller is losing his edge or getting too old, or something. All his earlier stuff was great, although I couldn't understand some of the things going on in Ronin.
Brian Bendis is the man right now in Comics. He and Joeph Loeb are the guys to read.
