"Batman: Gates of Gotham" is undoubtedly in this series. In Gotham three bridges are in a deadly attack blasted simultaneously, have great symbolic significance and are linked to three major families of Gotham. Batman (Dick Grayson) makes its Annex course immediately on the search for the guilty and must discover that the track to investigate the crime dates back to the late 19th century.
As so often in Batman comics and "Batman: Gates of Gotham" tells of loss, revenge and madness, but because of Scott Snyder's wise and thoughtful narrative style affects the story at any time stale or redundant. He skillfully combined again the events of the present with those of the past, so that the reader also happen to learn something about early flowering stage in prosperous Gotham of the late 19th century. However, the story includes only five chapters, is therefore told fairly quickly, but at all times exciting and can convince with dark, atmospheric drawings.
As a bonus, there is the short story "The Night Runner," the genesis of Batman the Parisian suburbs, which integrates itself into the "Batman, Incorporated" series.
Overall, "Batman: Gates of Gotham" a terrific and entertaining story told, which makes it clear that Scott Snyder is a damn talented writer.
