[@mtorngren15]

Welcome back. Hope you're feeling better 🍻

[@tylerscott2116]

Batman being The World's Greatest Detective has become a super power, and I dare say a super power with limitless potential over the years. All of his capabilities essentially come from being a Detective as he used Detective skills to hunt down and speed learn from the best teachers for every knowledge and skill on the planet. Who can argue that his complete control over his mind and body on a metabolic level isn't a super power? That's definitely a superpower. Is it even mentally and physically humanly possible to learn every martial art ever, essentially developing lifetimes of training by the time he's 30? If were being serious here Batman ain't no character without powers, he's a character who hyperconditioned himself to have powers. Superhuman Metabolic Control, Endurance, Intelligence, and Skill.

This has been a great mini series so far. I think I prefer this over most of the current Batman stuff in the Earth-0 continuity. Tom Taylor's writing is great and Andy Kubert is doing some of the best art of his career so far.

ON A SEPARATE NOTE; MY THOUGHTS ON THE NEW VERSION OF BATMAN COMIC-BOOKS STORIES: Now I genuinely like this version of BATMAN stories that introduces something new, and that something new is a proper amount of information to how Batman learned to become the fantastic Detective he is, and to add why he decided to do his stealth work at night, and who was his teacher in Detective skills.
