“Heart Of The City”
Isolation, loneliness, they can impact even the most noble person. Living in a city like Gotham will amplify these conditions, resulting in acute psychosis for those who don’t seek help. In the case of Rosemary Hayes, her quest to unmask the one true love in her life – Frank, has driven her to madness. Why is Frank playing games? She knows he is Batman. Rosemary decides to draw him out in public one way or another.

Reviewer Notes
This was an intense ending to a wonderful miniseries. The whole team at DC Comics should be proud of this one, I just wish their current writers, artists, and producers kept this level of creativity. I feel the big boy publishers these days are more focused on identity politics and alternative cover art sales than producing memorable titles.
As stated in my previous reviews, even though Batman takes a cameo role in this series, you should pick this one up. Batman: Gotham Nights focus on the normal citizens of Gotham, yet it is intriguing enough to pull you in. I’m giving this issue four out of five stars; the series is a five-star idea in conception and delivery.
