Customer Reviews
I’ve always thought of Grant Morrison’s work to be fascinating, deep, witty, and utterly confusing. Although this book was certainly confusing, at least for a first time reader, it’s definitely a glimpse of what is sure to be an epic plot line for Batman.
This first issue is an attempt to recap everything that has lead up to this current arc while introducing new key players. Although the recap does not go into great detail, it does allow the reader to progress and keep up somewhat to what’s happening with Batman.
My favorite aspect of this issue is the art. Tony Daniel has done an absolutely stunning job, producing jaw dropping spreads, car chases, and a solid jam-packed layout. I finished this issue somewhat confused, but it is a good sense of confusion, one that makes me genuinely intrigued and anxious to see how far down the rabbit hole Morrison has brought the world of Gotham.
