The two volumes of Batman: Rebirth (written by Tom King) from a few years ago explore a variety of storylines, all of which center around of who Batman is and who he wants to be. The first volume is the most interesting, as Batman encounters two new superheroes: Gotham and Gotham Girl. They've come to save the city, seeking to emulate Batman, who inspired them. The "I Am Gotham" series deals with where they came from, but also what effect Batman has on the city. I won't say more, save for the fact that Batman has to face Bane again, in order to save somebody. The second volume is more of a compilation of several shorter runs. It does conclude the "I Am Gotham" series with an "I Am Bane" run, as Bane comes to Gotham to take what Batman has taken from him. From that point, there is a short series involving the Flash and one involving Swamp Thing, as well as a romance with Catwoman and conflict between the Joker and the Riddler in "War of Jokes and Riddles," but then there are a series of one-offs, many of which center around Christmas. The first volume is worth the time, but the second volume is disappointing.
I was more impressed with a shorter volume from published earlier this year: Batman: The Detective, written by Tom Taylor. I will say that I was initally put off by the art work, mainly the portrayal of Bruce Wayne as a hulking, muscle-bound ruffian (looking more like Bane than Bruce Wayne), but as the work progressed, it made much more sense. What I particularly like about this work is that, as the title promises, it centers on Batman's detective skills (much like the recent movie, of course). He even encounters Henri Ducard again. One of the main questions this work explores is whether what Batman does makes any difference, a question that runs throughout the Batman mythology. There's also a bit of the "Batman needs other people" idea that has also been more prevalent in recent years that doesn't interest me, as much, but the general premise that drives the larger question of Batman's effect is interesting enough to offset the other idea, at least for me. It's a solid work that explores a question that most Batman readers enjoy.
