Ok why does this Batman look like a bad cosplay? The art style was kind of basic for sure. This Batman is fairly ineffectual in his own story. Near the end it became a frustrating read. To point I skipped quickly through the last ten pages. Well as I didn't care how it ended anymore.

This is my favorite Batman comic. It has incredible dark elements that Snyder explores to force the reader to face the darker elements of humanity and themselves. It also delves into the concept of family and what we are, and aren't, willing to do for our families (adopted or real) and how that drives or destroys us. The artwork is also beautiful, if you can call some of the things in this comic "beautiful." Truly, I've read the Dark Knight Returns, Year One, The Killing Joke, Year One, etc., but only this comic made me disturbed for hours after reading.

It didn't make my blood run quite as cold as "Death of the Family" but this was definitely in the same vein as other Batman story arcs. Great story, couldn't put it down!
