Batman: War Games Book Two collects for the first time the complete epic conclusion of the "War Games" saga that changed the criminal underworld of Gotham City forever! Stephanie Brown, also known as the vigilante Spoiler, has made her former partner Batman's training scenario a chilling reality. The various crime families are leaderless...the soldiers running for their lives while trying to grab a piece of the underworld pie for themselves. Batman is stunned to learn that the wave of terror and death threatening his beloved Gotham City originated closer to home than he ever imagined, and that someone he once trusted is responsible for the carnage. Now the streets are safe for no one. One master criminal emerges from the shadows, taking full advantage of the chaos, and he begins to consolidate the underworld in his grip. The Dark Knight and his allies have failed to contain the violence threatening Gotham City's citizenry. The media have exploited the situation so people think Batman is acting against their best interests. Worse, he has lost the trust and support of Police Commissioner Akins, just when he needs it the most.

Just two years after the Murderer?/Fugitive! crossover event the Batman comics experience yet another crossover event, with yet another death of a character, and it is yet again a female. This time Stephanie Brown. The death was planned from the start, her brief turn as Robin was planned from the start apparently as an attempt to trick readers into thinking that this is what the event was for, according to Batgirl writer Dylan Horrocks even her multi-page torture sequence was planned from the start. He and Devin Grayson were both uncomfortable with the intention of the story and kept Batgirl and Nightwing as isolated as possible. And while this death generated the most frustration something perhaps lost is that it is the stories second dead girl the first being mob daughter Darla Aquista, as often happens in these deaths it prompted Tim Drake to take back up the mantle of Robin. All of this was dictated by DCs editorial.
These shock twist stunts would continue not just in the Batman comics but across DC for years to come. They are generally attributed to Dan DiDio.
Another problem with these editorial impositions is a lack of internal logic, evidently another thing they wanted from this was for Batman to once again be feared by the public and hunted by the police. This is achieved by having Batman walk out of a school carrying a child that has been shot in the conflict between mobs with a tv reporter observing this declaring the shooting must have been caused by Batmans presence so he is a menace making Gothams crime worse - but surely the eyewitness testimony of hundreds of students and teachers would confirm she was shot long before Batman arrived? Nobody seems interested in correcting this convenient journalistic error.
Incidentally, to be properly read you have to pause before the last 7 compiled issues and then read most of City of Crime and Under the Hood (another one of the stunts), then come back to finish this, *and then* you can finish them.
