Batman Detective Comics #19!!!

Batman Detective Comics #19 was a Special 80-Page Spectacular! Issue.  What this means was this issue was a collection of short stories that DC Comics has been using as full issues that last two years.  Being short stories some were good some were amazing and some were just OK.  Interestingly enough this issue still managed to advance the Emperor Penguin Storyline.   We also got to see the origin story for the Man-Bat and a Bane against the Court of Owls storyline.  All and all the teaser stories for Penguin and Bane were interesting.  This issue also had a number of one shot splash art pages and a number of these were really well done.
