I have faith in Gail Simone (how could I not after this many great issues), but I am sure going to miss this noble Bane. I figure the guy is being re-set to his status quo so that he can show up in the reboot and in the new Batman movie. That means the venom plugs are back in Bane's head. Of course, maybe things will go a different way that I expect. Either way, it is going to be interesting.
This series has always been about who will dominate who. Each arc, a different character steps forward, putting his goals in front of the team. Usually, the team goes along, and they do it here again when Bane sets out his desire to break the Bat once again. This time, he wants to destroy Batman's family. It seems fair, Bane is surrounded by "a failed phalanx of broken individuals." Why wouldn't he be a bit jealous of Batman's touchy-feely relationships?
I'm happy that Knockout is recovering, she's such a fun character, there's no reason to let the Fourth World ban stick around. If everything is getting rebooted anyway, why not give Scandal a few issues of happiness?
And King Shark is always happy! That guy loves his job, and it is wonderful seeing Jim Calafiore drawing him constantly putting things in his mouth.
Good
