Batman #51 by Snyder and gand reminded me of Harlan Ellison's lead story in Detective Comics #567, "The Night of Thanks, But No Thanks!"
Both stories showed Gotham in a more optimistic light, with citizens stepping up so that Batman can take time off.
I've mostly enjoyed Snyder's run on Batman across all the titles. #51 was his final issue on BATMAN and it was so light compared to the darkness that permeated most of his run. It was a fitting finale, IMHO. Likewise, Detective Comics #567 published about 30 years ago was DC closing one chapter on the title and starting a post-Crisis relaunch.
