[truxillogical]

I've got nothing that compares to Gotham Central, but...

Batwoman: Elegy is pretty close. In terms of series, Batman: No Man's Land involves a lot of the GCPD elements (and a whole lot of Montoya. I'm pretty sure that story was the whole reason Two-Face targeted her in GC). The Tim Drake Robin series was good times.

Ooh. Oh, wait, I've got one:

Streets of Gotham. Dustin Nguyen and Paul Dini. Similar in the sense that it wasn't so much about Batman as it was about the lives of the people caught in his wake (there's even a short story arc about The Carpenter, a henchwoman contractor, that is one of my favs.) That one is DEFINITELY worth picking up (Doesn't hurt that Nguyen is one of those rare and delightful artists who always draws women as people instead of pin-ups. He had to draw Huntress in her belly-window days and managed to make that lousy costume look like reasonable athletic wear.


It still doesn't quite measure up because it's not the exact same--not building up extended stories in that Homicide: Life On The Street way that Gotham Central did. But it's worth checking out.

Gentlefriends, a moment of silence for the glorious departed, Gotham Central.

Thank you so much for the recs! I've started Elegy and from what I've seen it really lives up to the hype. I got into GC directly after reading No Man's Land , which I loved, and I'm having a terrible time getting over those two.

Will definitely look for Streets of Gotham! Thanks again!

All of these are beautiful works and I second the recommendations. Especially Streets of Gotham, which feels underrated as far as Batman discussion goes.

One of the oddest things about the reboot getting me into DC mainline comics is how I have been collecting all the old, out-of-continuity stuff. Including both Gotham Central and Elegy, which I love (though Elegy is still in continuity so yay! ... Batman books are weird about that but I am trying to just roll with it).

I've never heard of Streets of Gotham but I will put it on my to-read list because it also sounds awesome.

And I still have 2 vols of Central left to read and then off to look into the books with Renee Montoya as The Question because she is my new favourite character.

I second this rec. Greg Rucka is a great writer and what he did with Elegy and Gotham Central is really stellar. Maybe OP can check out some of his other works? For example, he also wrote No Man's Land which is my all time favourite Batman arc.

+1000 for Streets of Gotham!

For batfamily, Gates of Gotham is great. It's short with a really interesting style too.

I've also heard good things about Batman black & white but I haven't tried it yet.
