really liked it
bookshelves: comic, pretty-good

I like the artwork and the dialogues a lot, the story is quite okay too, I enjoy reading Batman's struggle very step of the way (Sorry! But I seem to have a kink for Batman's suffering!).

Yet, I still have a few problems:

(1) The villains: aside from the Joker (who is totally awesome, as usual), the gang of villains is made up by a bunch of B-rate or C-rate villains who I had never heard of before (but I haven't read so many Batman comics to know enough about the villains in the series, so don't kill me!). Don't get me wrong, many of those villains seem to be interesting characters with cool settings, but Dr. Hurt as the evil mastermind!? Who the hell is Dr. Hurt? No, I'm not buying it.

(2) I have difficulty telling Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson (Nightwing), Damian Wayne (the later Robin) and Tim Drake (the current Robin) apart: Why must all these guys be so alike with one another? It makes no sense.

(3) Batman in his underwear: Does anyone really want to see this? I know I don't.

(4) Some plot points of the story aren't well explained and the storytelling can be rather choppy: Maybe it is just me, but I had to re-read some parts of the story for the second time just to understand what is going on.

Still, I enjoy this volume.
