Rounded up from 3.75, the average of my ratings of the issues included.
The Batman mainline issues here are really, really solid; I particularly enjoyed having villains I can actually dislike (I.E. that dude who uses cop-hater as an insult, politicians in general, etc) on principle, and I loved the dynamic between Batman & Ghost-Maker continuing to get improved upon. Harley’s inclusion was great, too.
I was kind of thrown off by the Infinite Frontier #1 inclusion because I’m not caught up on the multiverse stuff, but I suppose that’s on me.
