Batman #17

Excellent story arc. There were so many things to like with this. Lots of character moments, even some out of costume stuff. I was afraid that it was Alfred under the domes. Then I feared it was their faces. I knew it wasn't but I thought the horror factor appropriate.

Things I liked: plenty of emotion. Batman and Robin's hug when Bruce released them. The family recovering from Joker's poison. Not showing up to Bruce's meeting, and how thy didn't show. Tim and Barbara hiding behind technology, Jason just not showing up, Damian with handwritten note and, finally, Dick almost getting there but deciding to call and cancel at the gate. Everything worked.

Things I didn't like: Joker knows who they are but doesn't care. I get hat it's a facet of his insanity but it's still hard to wrap my head around.
