Batman. Vol. 5, The rules of engagement

Ridiculous this run is hated on. Best characterization of Batman by far.

I'm finally getting into this!

Hmmmm. So close to a 5 Tom. If the comparison between Bat and Bane was well written, the inner ramblings of Bat and Sup rose even above that. The night out with their women and in their alter ego costumes is just brilliant and something us DC comic fans have been waiting for ages without even realising it. Tom caps it off with a Bat and Cat love story for the ages and it's so out of place in a Batman book that it tugs all the right strings and provides a happy ending to Batman that you know can never happen. Kudos
