The Pulse:
The Next Batman will now carve his own path and legacy in the Big Apple no longer hiding his ethnicity. Most of his family will be in NYC as well as his dad presumably stays behind in Gotham City, but is a Zoom call or FaceTime away. Action, intrigue and drama abounded in this issue and the art serviced the story well. 7.5 out of 10.
