From Booklist
Of DC Comics' dozen or so monthly Batman-related titles, Gotham Central is outstanding. It focuses on the police detectives who tackle Gotham City's street-level criminals while the Caped Crusader confronts the costumed crooks. The premise grounds the series in recognizable reality, even though the plainclothes protagonists can't avoid crossing paths with the superpowered felons associated with Batman. The stories collected here feature Renee Montoya, scorned by fellow detectives when her homosexuality is revealed and subsequently framed for a murder. The tense atmosphere of the squad room and the morally ambiguous world of cops and crooks evoke contemporary crime stories in other media; Gotham Central is like The Shield more than like Hill Street Blues. Prolific comics scripter and successful mystery author Rucka devises a deft mash-up of the superhero saga and the police procedural, but Lark's shadowy, understated artwork is equally crucial to the success of the series' realistic stories, as two inferior pieces set more firmly in conventional Batman continuity and illustrated in standard superhero style make quite clear by contrast.
