review:
'Batman: Detective Comics, Vol. 3: League of Shadows' by James Tynion IV with a host of artists focuses on team member Orphan and unleashes a crazy set of attacks of Batman's team and Gotham.

The new Batman team features Clayface, Batwoman, Batwing, Azrael and Orphan. Cassandra Cain, Orphan, doesn't want to talk. In this volume, which collects Detective Comics #950-956, we find out who her mother is. Her mother is Lady Shiva and she may be involved in the mythical League of Shadows. Before things are done, Batman's team will have to rely on Orphan's skill to save them, and when that skill is unleashed, it's a pretty amazing thing.

I read the Rise of the Batmen arc, and while I liked it, I felt a bit lost. I love Clayface being part of this team, but at the time, I wasn't familiar with the Cass character, but she has some great, weighty dramatic moments here. Her arc feels a bit different from similar "dark" characters and I appreciated it. I really liked this story. It's smart and action packed. The art pulls everything together.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
