From the sewers under Gotham to the roiling waters of the harbor, Batman's march toward Blackgate Prison is nearing its end...but far from being a passive prisoner, E.M.P. has his own mission to fulfill-and there's no way he's letting the Dark Knight stop him from carrying it out!
Jock delivers some visually dynamic and dramatic art throughout. The action is gritty and brilliant designed. Read Full Review
The series on the whole was one of the best Batman books of 2022 (so far). The ending hit, on almost all accounts. A little rushed. But overall the finale was action packed, it was emotional and the books art is top tier. Jock knows Batman. Hardcover cannot come soon enough. Read Full Review
Jock's Black Label adventure has been surprisingly simple in its nature, and that's worked well for it. Read Full Review
Batman: One Dark Knight #3 closes the three-issue series spectacularly with Batman doing what he does best: kicking ass and delivering witty dialogue that we've come to know and love from the Caped Crusader. Read Full Review
BATMAN: ONE DARK KNIGHT #3 completes an ambitious and engaging series that every Batman fan should read immediately if they havent already! It already feels like a classic. Read Full Review
I thoroughly enjoyed One Dark Knight all the way through, from the first issue to the conclusion. The artwork has been absolutely phenomenal and will be a great addition to any comic book enthusiast's collection, especially if you're into high level, carefully crafted art. The writing in this issue is a little weaker than in the previous issues, though, and I think this story wraps up a little too quickly. However, Jock had a vision for this book, and he stuck to it all the way to the very end, and all things considered this is one hell of an achievement. Recommended! Read Full Review
Unfortunately, One Dark Knight isn't able to overcome some of the problems that have lingered throughout its first two issues, as Jock supplies readers with stellar artwork but seems to be beleaguered with the dialogue and story beats. Read Full Review
You know what...I didn't mind this at all. Yeah the writing wasn't amazing, yeah the story was fairly simple and nothing overly original, but sometimes you're just in the mood to not think too much and see Batman lay the smackdown on some low-level thugs with great art, and that's exactly what this was. It wasn't revolutionary and I probably won't read it a second time, but I am glad I read it once, and for what it was, I enjoyed it.
A solid, if only serviceable, ending.
I think Jock's inexperience as a writer shone through a little here. Every page with Croc was a treat to look at and there were lots of cool homages to Miller's work on DKR, but the plot was a bit thin and wrapped up rather conveniently. And while the story was lacking a touch of originality, it's hard to argue with Jock's interpretation of the character. His Batman is smart, driven, compassionate and damn can he take a beating and keep going.
an uneven ending to this series.
I wish this story could have come to a more interesting conclusion. But over the last several years Batman's gotten to spend more time in the sewers than the Ninja Turtles. And like most times, surprise, surprise. He runs into Croc, resorting to cannibalism. The stuff beyond wasn't very interesting either. The only part I can say was good was seeing Alfred and Gordon as Commissioner again. Other than that this was a rather dull issue as amusing as the 5th rate art it contains.
Ugh. Back in the sewers. Honestly is there no more creativity in DC Comics than that?
