Over the past few months, readers have followed along as Gotham was torn apart by the war between Batman, Catwoman, and those caught in between, their diametrically opposed views on what the city’s future should look like clashing. Now, after nearly all lines have been crossed and once solid relationships broken, the fighting has finally come to an end. Fortunately for those involved, the damage done along the way was surprisingly minimal, although that specifically doesn’t do readers any favors.Not long after the eponymous duo of Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War: Scorched Earth #1 (by Tini Howard, Chip Zdarsky, Mike Hawthorne, Nikola Čižmešija, Mark Morales, Wade Von Grawbadger, Arif Prianto, and Clayton Cowles) face off against Vandal and Scandal Savage, Bruce Wayne is left to mourn those seemingly lost in the aftermath. All the while, Bruce is also trying to figure out exactly what that will look like. While the main fragment of the meteor left behind has seemingly begun forming Gotham’s very own Lazarus Pit, Jason Todd, aka the Red Hood, miraculously survived his apparent sacrifice in preventing that same meteor from cratering the city. Jason isn’t the only unlikely survivor in all of this, either, and his continued presence isn’t the only one that calls into question exactly what if anything DC’s Gotham War accomplished.There is something to be said about the revelations regarding the relationships between individual members of the Bat Family throughout the course of The Gotham War, yet by the time the dust has settled, almost all of those relationships are right back to where they started. Even Bruce’s own poignant moments of self-reflection within the issue itself are quickly undone by his near immediate return to form. While he does prove to be more focused and less concerned with the kind of villainous machinations that would have once enthralled him in an instant, leaving behind the rest of the team to embark upon a solo mission is the only noticeable shift Bruce or any other character central to The Gotham War has undergone.
