Batman: No Man's Land

Bane makes an appearance in the No Man's Land and Batman must discover his purpose there. Does Bane want to once again be the "king" of Gotham? Or is he merely taking advantage of a new opportunity? Someone is making a move and materials are being sent in. There is a light at the end of the No Man's Land tunnel. In addition, Joker and Two-face are still running wild. No Man's Land is a take-no-prisoners look at Gotham if it reverted to the days of feudalism. It is an interesting "social experiment" on the part of the writers, and an intriguing plotline.

This is the greatest book that I have ever read!This book made me become a hard-core Batman-Fan!!!!!!OMG, words cannot describe this books' perfection...wait, yes it can!I really loved how Rucka didn't just frame it on Batman, but entire community of No Man's Land.The fact that all the greatest batman villians were lose and especially insane, made their actions become intertwined. for them, it was either partnerships, or back-stabbings, this book had so many different viewpoints that you could understand EVERYTHING that was happening, or what the narrating characters were feeling. I liked very much the special touch Rucka put in with the Oracle's Journal. I was Barbara's input that I liked reading the most because her theories always left you puzzled.But the strange thing on my part was that I quite enjoyed the beginning.....the absece of Batman.......?

This volume (4 of 5) is a filler that leaves a lot of loose end, the writing is getting better, and the action is heating up. A lot of loose ends from the begining of NML are tied up(Batman's relationship w/ Gordon and the res tof the "gang", Two Faces new relationship with Montoya) and it features the odd return of Bane. All in all a good read, and worth it since Volume 5 is out and is a brilliant read.
