I liked this issue okay except for the gratuitous fight scene. I like how Fabian is getting all the ancillary bat-books. I do not, however like that there is no consistency between this one shot and the Oracle Miniseries where the “whole internet” is down and how on the internet Oracle is some sort of legend, but no one had heard of her here. I think the fight scene was more unforgivable though. Oracle has been around for about 20 years in this incarnation, and, while she’s killed in the past, I think it has always been a hell of a lot more personal than it was portrayed here. I think the use of killers like Manhunter and portraying supporting cast members like Huntress as casual killers undercuts the moral authority they have. I know that Bruce wouldn’t stand for it if he was still active in the books, and DC characters should be above easy murder, even as a plot device. 5/10
