    Great story, classic 90's art style, heavy on the shadows and tone. I enjoyed the exploration of Eastern philosophy in Batman's journey into becoming the Dark Knight. It probably could have been done better with more accuracy but it didn't feel like Grant was completely making it up as he went. It felt real and that works a lot of the time. Probably a heavy influence from the Night of the Ninja episode of BTAS though obviously changing it from Japan to China.
