The Pulse:
Art all through this book, main story and two back-ups, was mediocre. The core Batman story left a bad taste in my mouth due to lynching imagery, but ended strong on family. Batgirls back story had potential, but story had more potential then it delivered on. Gotham City Sirens back story was emotional and touching. Overall, whole book gets a 5.5 out of 10.
