The conclusion to the No Man's Land arc sees Gotham on the brink of redemption as public opinion pressures the US Government to reinstate the ruined city's position in America. However, Batman and his allies will have to contend with both the machinations of Lex Luthor and the diabolical plots of the Joker before they can reclaim their city.

I think what I like most about this book is the way that, in the absence of the rule of law and government, the heroes of the city come to embody the hope of the people.
It's a surprisingly uplifting message for such a bleak story arc overall, but it's very well done.

However, despite some more positive themes throughout the book, this story also does go to some surprisingly dark places and we're given a real reason to understand why, totally lacking in superpowers, Luthor and the Joker are among the most dangerous of DC's pantheon of villains.
