Scott Snyder excels at pushing Batman into the most harrowing circumstances. Snyder relies on the classic plot of Batman trying to stop the villain from infecting the city with a toxic serum, only this time Batman himself is afflicted. Jock's art, along with the red and black infernal color scheme, perfectly matches the story's horror motifs. My one complaint is that parts of the action are convoluted.
One of Scott Snyder's most terrifying characters--the Batman Who Laughs--pushes Batman toward madness.
The hybrid Batman/Joker is here to ruin Batman's life. Scott Snyder has done amazing things for the Batman universe, and he goes all in on the psychological deconstruction. It is a little much having Batman constantly one breath away from death and taking on these world ending, dimension shattering mega events, but somehow Snyder is still able to suck you into the story.
