I'm enjoying Hoopla's comics collection. I'll try anything in the Batman universe and I tend not to read them chronologically. Hoopla has the first four chapters of this twelve chapter recent story. It was really only back in the character's first couple decades that things remained fixed as far as character ages. Since the 1970s, and with my previous Batman post on this blog as an example, the characters do age and the world they live in does change. I haven't read the story that leads to the specific events of this story, but Ridley does a good job at making this part of the continuity stand on its own. Lucius Fox, the former head of R&D for Wayne Enterprises, is now the head of Wayne Enterprises. We meet the rest of the Fox family too. Bruce Wayne is gone. Commissioner Gordon is gone. Renee Montoya is now the head of the police. Characters formerly from the sidelines take the lead. I'm here for new characters being developed moving forward. Primarily we get to know Tim 'Jace' Fox, a prodigal son, and his older brother Luke Fox who are at odds, but both have the skills to be Batman.
