This was my least favourite of the Batman books. The others all had clear directions while this one seems to be all over the place. Bruce Wayne is having trouble because of Batman Inc! Bruce Wayne is flirting! Batman has to stop an Arkham breakout! He has to stop Two-Face who's now become a monster! Nothing really connects.
The whole Batman vigilante thing seems like it should already been dealt with. Mostly because, as much as he pretends he isn't, Bruce is a smart guy and there's no way the legal ramifications of Batman Inc. (as dumb as it is) wouldn't have been worked out before he made the announcement.
Bruce flirting is expected. He had three girls hanging off him before the one he actually started flirting with arrived. But it just felt tossed in there. Hopefully, they won't try to make her a recurring character. Or worse, a love interest because we all know that will end poorly.
And that leaves Arkham. Either there's no connection between the books or Batman has had a very busy week. He already dealt with a prison riot in Batman. Maybe that's how he knew to look for Two-Face. Dick told him that they were planning something. I think Dick would've mentioned the Playboy bunny though.
