so-soI like Tom King a lot, but I would rank this near the bottom of his impressive comics resume. This has a clever, non-linear structure, but a less than totally satisfying conclusion. It's told more from the villains' perspective than Batman's and has some interesting allusions to Euripides. Marquez's art is good, but not as memorable as some of King's other collaborators.
Did anyone else watch the Penguin on HBO? As much as I'm ready for a more light-hearted take on the Dark Knight, Matt Reeves' Batman universe is very compelling. The Penguin had an amazing cast, and they told a great mob story set in Gotham. I'm excited to see how the story continues.
pickReread. It's been a while since I've read Scott Snyder's Batman, but this comic is still amazing. While he would still play in the DC sandbox with Dark Nights, Last Knight is a proper conclusion to Snyder's iconic Batman run. The world has gone to hell, but that's not going to stop Batman from finding the truth, making a plan, and inspiring others to fight one more time.
Maybe, someday, you‘ll come to trust that.
Until then…
Someday…

so-soHated it. Knew I'd hate it. At least we can tick this one off the list.
If you like the idea of a nightmarish, Bat-adjacent dream sequence with some violence thrown in, this could be the high concept horror novella for you.
If, however, you prefer substance and plot to vibes, and don't like migraine-inducing visuals, give this one a miss.
Need some Adam West Batman to recover now.

so-so100/150 I don't know if its caused by the constraints of the video game, but this is a very plodding Batman story. The identity of the Arkham Knight is pretty obvious, and the subplot of Batman fighting against the Joker's blood in his system was a total parallel to the later DC plotline, The Batman Who Laughed. If you love all things Batman, you might want to give it a try, otherwise I'd skip it. 3 ⭐⭐⭐
