REVIEW: Detective Comics #973 (Fall of the Batmen Finale)

Batman is working with the team to formulate a plan to bring Basil down to size.
Everyone is lending a hand to help stop Clayface. Batwing and Squire are working up a plan to have the Batwing drones controlled by Azazel and sent to battle Clayface. In the Meantime Anarchy and (honestly a character that they do not name, but I imagine has a Name) argue about the ethics of their interference so far, Anarchy does not take lightly the impertinence and the hypocrisy of the other and they fight. ( an sort of B-plot item that is not too explored in this issue).
