Batman: Battle for the Cowl, by Tony Daniel

Batman: Battle for the Cowl by Tony Daniel (story) and Fabian Nicieza (art); graphic novel; 160 pages

This is the follow-up to a long string of Batman arcs, and I've only read a few of them. As a result, I think I missed some of the subtleties of the story, and I definitely had to looks some characters up to figure out when, exactly, they had come back from the dead. I found this interesting to read, especially so close to finishing Knightfall, because the plot is very similar: Bruce Wayne is out of the picture, and a new, impostor Batman is out of control. This story goes in a totally different direction than Knightfall, but I couldn't help comparing them as I read. The art is FAR better here, by the way. I may have missed some things here, but reading this did give me some ideas for which stories to read next (as I'm now apparently reading the series in reverse order).
