There's that crazy Wayne again

OK, Bruce Wayne is obsessed. There is no other explanation for his relentless, cold-hearted pursuit of justice as the Batman. But he isn't insane.

Sorry, I have to nitpick...

+ A good storyline similar to "No Man's Land"

This is the second volume of the No Man's Land story, where Gotham lies in ruins, cut off from the outside world, battled over by gangs (including the police), and Batman and his team fight for the good of Gotham. It's a gripping storyline.
