And, because it's Tom King writing, all sorts of nuances, shades of grey and relative moralism between the two sides.
And how much of it was all Batman's fault? In today's Batman #25, we see how one choice of Bruce Wayne led to set of actions that may have done some terrible things But that was[...]

Several SU[...]

"Not you Gotham, city Gotham!"
"Try to be more specific next time!"
Physically, metaphorically, in every way possible, Gotham City has[...]

And that Snyder will instead take on the also-relaunched-but-staying-monthly Detective Comics, also starring Batman.
