Notes:
(1) This is the first Batman volume I've read since 2018. Such is the breadth of my comic TBR that I've read several hundred books and haven't come back to this series until now.
(2) This is made up of orphan one-shots and fill-in work, stuff that were cut from previous volumes. That's fine with me. I'm not a Greg Capullo fanboy, and could do with some different art.

Notes:
(1) I'm slogging through this right now. It's all decent stuff, but there's no connective tissue. I'm always having to re-calibrate where each story is chronologically.
(2) I've always thought Greg Capullo is overrated as an artist. He's fine enough, but nothing about his style appeals to me, his covers are boring, and he can't draw women's faces for the life of him.

Notes:
(1) Scott Snyder's decent at creating new villains, but his new hero characters suck!
(2) There's these new kids, Harper Row and her gentle brother Cullen... boy am I tired of teen geniuses who excel at everything, including beating up gangsters and ninjas!
(3) Practically perfect people are platitudinous!
(4) Pretty please! A flaw or vice or idiosyncrasy! Something!

Notes:
(1) Weird reading a book made up of one-shots and backups. In a way, it's a throwback to the days when nearly all issues were stand-alone stories. Now everything's serialized by default.
(2) It's interesting reading Tynion's backups, knowing what he'd become... the most successful of Snyder's initial acolytes, a list that includes Marguerite Bennett and Kyle Higgins.

Wait, I thought Orphan did not come in until Rebirth??? Are the one shots any good in here? I may have to try and find it, if they are. She's one of my favorite bat family members!

So, this volume is sort of an orphanage for those stray issues. Just a metaphor, sorry for the confusion :)
Ooohhhhh lol my bad! That makes sense as well, and would have been my interpretation of it in any non Batman review!
Jenny wrote: "Ooohhhhh lol my bad! That makes sense as well, and would have been my interpretation of it in any non Batman review!"My mistake entirely. Since I've not gotten to Rebirth yet, it entirely skipped my mind that Cassie Cain was called Orphan. I mostly know her as either Batgirl or Black Bat.
Black Bat??? That sounds cool! I've read her as Batgirl and as Orphan.

Omg! Batman!!
