Snyder knows these characters, sets up an intriguing mystery, and delivers some action that Capullo realizes stunningly.
Too often Batman comics focus heavily on the hero persona Snyder sets up equal amounts of conflict for both Wayne's public and private personas.
Scott Snyder, already the company's greatest asset over the last four weeks, spins a stack of plates immediately. pulls from the oldest aspects of the Batman myth, combines it with sinister-comic elements from the series best period, and gives the whole thing terrific forward-spin by setting up an honest-to-gosh mystery for Batman to solve. This is one of the best comics of the week. The hero's got personality (and is unafraid to release a quip as sharp as a Batarang), a horde of supervillains, gumption to spare and a whole host of high-tech gadgetry to suitably impress longtime fans and those new to the Dark Knight. With every year that passes, this masterpiece becomes more entrenched into this medium s pantheon of the greatest stories ever told. This now-classic graphic novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling creative team of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo is not just fantastic jumping-on point for any new reader, but one of the great Batman stories ever told. If the dark legends are true, his masters are more powerful predators than the Batman could ever imagine. A brutal assassin is sinking his razor-sharp talons into the city s best and brightest, as well as its most dangerous and deadly. The Dark Knight dismissed the stories as rumors and old wives tales.
