Dead Robin (33-36). Another terrific story in part because we got to see a large amount of the cast, in part because there's real tension on a multiple of levels, and in part because it's a weird mystery. The ending didn't amaze me, but it was OK and that's irrelevant to the great characterization and story to that point [8+/10].

Sunday Bloody Sunday (37). A rather nice dramatization of the effects that super fights have on the normal citizenry — something that you don't usually see in DC Comics [8+/10].

Corrigan II (38-40). Man. What an ending for Gotham Central. Shocking and heartbreaking, while also concluding an awe-inspiring character arc for Renee [10/10].

Overall, this is Gotham Central once more at its best. And sadly at its last.

David W. I have high hopes in Fox's new "Gotham" series. Do you think it can capture some of this series' brilliance?
