Excellent summary of the many high points.

Loved this issue. It reminded me why I read comics. Its not all about big fights (though those are fun) it's the character moments.

Works as a stand alone story, but also entices readers to what happened before: "How did we get here?!?!?"
and what happens next:
"I"m having a wedding thing?" "Yes, because I'm coming."

I think Batman hit the pitch because...
It was his book, so he wins "the battle."
