I wish they would just call this book what it really is. Batman Family. But Detective Comics needs to be around, so that's the title (by default, imho).
I think this is my favorite Batman book right now. Batman isn't the main star. There really isn't one. It's the whole family instead. This volume showcases Batgirl, er, um, Orphan more than any of the other characters. It's nice to see more of the Rebirth version of her. She's not too different from the Batgirl version, but all the history has been washed away and we're still figuring out what is still canon and what is new.
This volume is my favorite of the three so far. The story feels so big that it couldn't possibly fit in this one book, but it does and it's all quality, no filler. I don't think James Tynion gets enough recognition for what he does. He's fantastic in what he writes and he's at the top of his game right now. He makes me want more.
