Batman: Detective Comics, Vol. 5: The Joker War by Eduardo Risso, Burnham Chris, Peter J. Tomasi, Brad Walker, Kenneth Rocafort, James Tynion IV, Mariko Tamaki
2.0

I really like Tomasi's work usually but this isn't doing it for me at all.

While first few issues deal with the fallout of Alfred's death and works well, the rest is kind of typical Batman adventure stopping two face and the Joker. Neither storyline is really interesting and nothing new happens. I feel like Tomasi maybe was just putting in work to get paid at this point with the exception of the first two issues (One partially written by James).

A 2.5 out of 5.
