As for Year 1 - I thought the decision to focus everything through Gordon is a good one even if it did result in things like Foxs weird Gotham show. I do dislike the idea that everyone in the batsphere is a Secret BadAss (honestly the short story about Alfred being a former spy is way way worse on this front) but it works overall.

Which short story are you referring to, out of curiosity? I love that Alfred is ex-military and it's really fun to see that come up on occasion and in stuff like Gotham. The only story I've read where I thought it really stretched believability was IIRC the Snyder All-Star Batman which gave him a super elaborate backstory. I also think there was something with his long lost son but I dont remember. Some decent characterization in there but man that plot was totally off the rails.

DPOblivion was far more determined than me.
