Batman’s world begins to grow as the people of Gotham realize they only need a costume to justify their problematic behavior. Fortunately, with Robin at his side and an empowered populace, Batman begins to turn the tide in his war against crime.

Batman: The Dark Age took its time to get out of the shadows of its predecessor. But it has been worth the wait as the series delivers its strongest issue so far. The art is good as always – to the point where I can't find new words to praise it – but there's an injection of color in this month's issue that has helped make the book more livelier. Dark Age takes delight in depicting the Batman of a simpler time through a modern lens and does it exceedingly well. Read Full Review

I do think it's interesting that Pariah (a key part of the comic's tie to Russell's previous "Age" series) hasn't been a factor so far, although a last page confrontation with Ra's al Ghul could majorly upend Batman's world as he knows it. Read Full Review
Funny, wonderful artwork, and immensely clever. I highly recommend, especially to those who liked the brilliant Superman: Space Age.
