The art and colors continue to be absolutely phenomenal and is the main draw for me with this book. I actually think this style and design would work amazingly well for an animated film.

This miniseries is another in a long line of Batman black label books that don't really justify themselves. Nothing here is bad, and the art is fantastic. I just don't think the story is all that interesting.
