Batman by Tom King Omnibus Vol. 2 carries the run through collapse, aftermath and emotional reckoning, with Bruce Wayne forced to confront love, fear and the idea that Batman may not be enough to protect him from himself. Tom King treats the symbol like a wound that keeps reopening. For Batman readers, the value is the tension between casework and psychology: Gotham is not only a backdrop, but a pressure system that keeps exposing what Bruce can and cannot control.
