    Review: Detective Comics #870 0

    The "Impostor Wars" conclude as Batman finally discovers the identity of his impostor - - a man with a terrifying connection to the impostor Joker.  The Good The twist about the impostor Batman's identity might've been easy to guess given that there aren't actually that many suspects in this story - - but, still, I didn't see it coming and the reveal adds a horrifying dimension to the plot we've been seeing. Actually, I was really impressed by how Hine was able to weave some serious challenges t...

     The Good: Scott's art is at it's best at the end of this arc. There's so much thought put into every detail of the chaos. It's like an incredibly dark Where's Waldo.
