Bruce Wainwright isn't a child anymore-but the trauma that shaped him, and the monster he created, is still with him! Has Bruce grown enough to deal with the shock when he learns that one of his most closely held beliefs was a lie?
Creature of the Night blows past any preconceived notions of Batman you might have, delivering an altogether different sort of Batman tale. Read Full Review
This book is a creative masterpiece. Kurt Busiek continuously displays his storytelling expertise. John Paul Leon delivers a delightful, 80's aesthetic to the book. The character designs, landscapes, and action scenes continue to deliver a unique display of mastery unlike any other book I'm reading today. I've said it before and it continues to be true. This is the sort of book that sets the standard for top tier work. Read Full Review
The final issue (and hopefully it'll be sooner in coming than this one) has a lot to resolve, but if it sticks the landing, it'll be an evergreen classic that DC will sell for years to come. Read Full Review
A really amazing tale with quality art, a complex story and an excellent cliffhanger... I'm definitely all in for the ending. Read Full Review
The climax of the storyline is now reached as the bat and the man become ever so close. With three masters of their art (Kurt Busiek, John Paul Leon, and Todd Klein) working together in perfect syntony, this book dives deep into the inner workings of Bruce Wayne's mind as he goes through his Bronze Age, the detective era of Batman.

Consistently great writing and art with a compelling story that is tragic and engaging. Read Full Review
BATMAN: CREATURE OF THE NIGHT is a whirlwind of a story. Touching upon heavy and delicate themes beyond the normal death and corruption that riddles Batman comics, Busiek and Leon also weave a strong web concerning mental health and coming to grips with the darkness that lives inside us all. With a mysterious tombstone in the family plot, politicians like Jack Crowder who are just a little too clean and familiar characters appearing in new places, CREATURE OF THE NIGHT offers up an intriguing tale of what it means to lose everything… Read Full Review
Batman: Creature of the Night is an incredible story. A simple concept has been handled so thoughtfully and with a surprising amount of depth. The creative team is on fire, creating an Elseworld tale that can stand proudly alongside other greats. I have no doubt they will stick the landing. Read Full Review
To draw to a close, Creature of the Night #3, is a bitter-sweet installment to the series. The storyline offers a constant surprise in every issue. I'm huge Batman fan who dabbles in various storyline series of the Caped Crusader, but never something like this. Read Full Review
Creature of the Night has lots some of its punch with the third chapter. A long delay and unnecessary complexity have somewhat detached the story from what made it compelling in the first place. Still, it reads and looks as good as anything else on the stands, and if you've enjoyed the series so far and want to see it through to the end, you should absolutely buy this book. Read Full Review
While this is still a good book, the delays and a downturn in the story have cooled me off a bit on the series. The art is still stellar, but this issue (and the fact that #4 is nowhere in sight) has got me a bit down. Read Full Review
I have no words. If you haven’t read this series, well, you most definitely should
A very good issu. I didn't see the revelation coming and I appreciate Busiek link this one of my favorite Stephen King book.
The end is very sad & strange. I will wait eager for the end.
Cover - Really nice & realated. 2/2
Writing - It's one of the best story I read. Busiek play with the character & make us care for him. 3/3
Arts - A huge artistic work. A pleasure to read. 3/3
Feeling - Dark but great story. 2/2
I thought my enthusiasm for this book waned a bit over how long ago the last issue was... nope. One of the best books out right now.
Awesome
Stunning, haunting, dark, a bit depressing, very sad, and very well done. And also a bit of a reminder why someone like Batman would not be so effective in a real world where the bad guys aren't clowns, aliens, or secret societies but instead are just corruptible human beings.
