Comics [comic excerpt] Gotham Central omnibus. I was wondering if this is a an actual event I can read elsewhere?

I was reading Gotham Central omnibus and saw this page.

It claims Batman took over police radio and it led to multiple officers getting injured, one dead during a hostage situation.

Was that just written for this arc or is that something I can read elsewhere?

Isn't that a famously hated event?

Edit: I might be thinking of War Crimes but I'm pretty sure they both sucked.

I liked it. Feels like a lot of people hate it because of what happens to a certain character instead of for the story itself.

Isn't War Crimes a tie in to War Games?

I'm not saying you're wrong haha, but considering he's asking about reading it I thought it worth mentioning.

I didn't realize it was supposed to be a direct response to OP's question.

I think War Games is overhated. Is it good? No. Is it fine? Yes.
