Not having read any reviews on the book, except this one, I really would't say that Miller is getting a pass in his writing of this.  Mocking someone for plot holes and continuity errors big enough to drive a batmobile through isn't exactly a pass, but it makes the read more enjoyable.  I can't shelve in the graphic novels section anymore without hearing "The goddamn Batman!" in my head and snickering.  Thanks, Proto, for another well done installment.
Also, I must note...

				At this point, Batman realizes that he may have kind of fucked up a little bit, and that maybe his whole "abducting a twelve-year-old boy whose parents were just murdered and sweeping him up into my crazy lifestyle" plan wasn't thought out quite as well as it could have been.
