In today's Detective Comics #1055, Gotham notices that Batman just isn't around as much anymore, as riots break out in Arkham Tower in the centre of Gotham City. And those overnight town planners are staring down at their shoes.

While in Batman #121, Batman also notices he is missing.

Almost as if people ate indeed talking to each other, which makes a nice change. While Detective Comics #1055 also looks back at BAtman's No Man Land when Batman wasn't missing but everyone else was.

That's not always a bad thing as Batman points out in today's Justice League #73.

After all, Dark Knights Of Steel #4 shows us how Batman Vs Superman would actually go down.

And Mister Freeze just appreciated the variety of Bats to hand. Like going down the Bat-Aisle in the supermarket.

While former residents of Arkham Asylum not in the Tower, continue to find new ways to make Gotham feel more like home, in Arkham City: Order Of The World #6.

Batman: Killing Time reveals that Gotham Central Park has a memorial statue to the Waynes, Thomas and Martha. You would have thought that might have come up at some point.

Sometimes it's all about the feng shui of it all, isn't it?
