Batman 1


New relaunch of batman title  sees batman in the thick of action immediately inside arkham asylum. Batman had to face off against a dozen villains in the asylum to investigate a case. Batman had to tangle with scarecrow, two face and killer croc so its a great introduction to those unfamiliar with batman's foes. Interesting part is batman got help from the joker to subdue the villains. Has joker turned to the good side? Apparently the joker is just Dick Grayson aka Nightwing impersonating as joker.

There's also introduction to Robin past and present and Alfred for those just starting out on Batman. Batman as Bruce Wayne also gave a great speech in a party as Bruce launched a massive project to re-modernize the city of Gotham. Later batman arrives at the scene of a horrific murder with a dead body with multiple stab wounds. Dna analysis on the knifes used in the murder turned out to be someone who is very close to batman. Overall a good enough reboot to batman title and enough of information to pull in the new readers. How the plot of trust between batman and Nightwing will be the focus in the next issue.
