Growing up I always thought of the DC Universe as hokey or cheesy until I read this crossover. How Batman, Oracle, Huntress, the GCPD, etc. deal with the very real life issues of an earthquake and being totally cut off from aid from the United States is so interesting to see. While it sounds crazy this seems realistic so me. Villains who stayed would still be interested in controlling what they could. You definitely get to see the different shades of grey for the heroes of the book. The two stories here are very different but tell different tales in this new world. Bob Gale’s contribution is brilliant. Devin Grayson’s arc involving the church and Scarecrow is good but a little clumsy. The art by both Alex Maleev and Dale Eaglesham is great. Overall a great start to a hugely successful Bat-centric crossover.
