Batman: Detective Comics, Issue #951 sees Gotham eerily quiet. Batman is training his army, as he talks with Batwoman. Orphan, the ballet dancer turned villain turned Bat-hero, is overwhelming the rest. Batman even admits that she could best him. In Issue #950, Azrael beat the program that Batman couldn't. And there's Clayface, a Robin or two, and of course, Batwoman, who's working with Mayor Hardy to clean up the corruption that had infected Gotham. Their new enemy? The League of Shadows, led by Shiva the Destroyer, but what if it's not?
I love Batwoman's role in this series. She's Batman's right hand, giving him advice, watching over the rest of the Bat-heroes. There's a lot I like about this issue, Clayface was very well introduced as a hero in the previous issue, as were Orphan and Azrael. I also like the way the title of the comic isn't introduced until the final page, so the reader isn't sure who the new enemy is. There are hints that it's someone else, even Batman himself. Recommended.
