Seems forced at times, although generally I like the way Batman is written. He's this dude who used to be unstoppable before getting older, and I like the fact that for the most part the book is devoid of any idiotic "this used to be easier in the old days!" talk, at least not to the extent of say Indy4. I like the idea of examining Batman from a psychological standpoint and admitting that he's pretty fucked up in the head. His villains are all like him in some way or another, and perhaps he doesn't kill them because he knows he's nothing without them; interestingly he (as Bruce Wayne) supports the release of Two-Face from prison although he knows Harvey is just as incurable as he is.
The various "point counter-point" news segments aren't too far off from current reality, and Miller seems just as comfortable writing Gordon as Batman.
