Young Bruce Wayne's global journey to become the Dark Knight continues as he finds himself deep in the heart of Moscow searching for Avery Oblonsky, the world's foremost expert in disguise and espionage! Finding this phantom will prove more difficult than expected, but is Bruce willing to die trying?
This is another fantastic installment that takes Bruce a little closer to being Batman, and it's great that Zdarsky is setting up his own take on Batman long before he gets to write his main title. Read Full Review

Now that's more like it. Batman: The Knight #5 is a great read, and has made me extremely excited for what's yet to come. Not only do I now finally want to read more of this series, set in Bruce Wayne's past, but I'm also a lot more interested to see what Mr. Zdarsky and the incomparable Jorge Jimenez have in store for us when they bring readers Batman's modern day adventures.

If you like spy dramas, you're going to love Batman: The Knight. Bruce Wayne finally gets to learn about the art of getting what you want, manipulation and pretending to be someone else. This issue also does well to further explore Bruce's new friend Anton and his slightly gray moral compass. Read Full Review
Giandominico delivers some fantastic imagery throughout the issue. The art style is beautifully detailed and delivers on the thrills and drama of the story. Read Full Review
Bruce learning the spy game is interesting and at times thrilling; it could just use more space to really flesh out the concept. Read Full Review
I like seeing an unconfident Bruce. I like seeing the mistakes, the apprehension, and the "unsureness as this book accentuates his journey. Somehow we now see Bruce through a crotchety lense where he is incapable of indicating he is wrong or even makes the slightest mistake. It is refreshing to see how Bruce is becoming The World's Greatest Detective! Read Full Review
BATMAN: THE KNIGHT #5 was somewhat slower with a bit less suspense and thrills than the prior issues in the story to date. The action was more tame, the villainy was toned down, and the story beats seemed insignificant, especially as BATMAN: THE KNIGHT #5 came to a close for what appeared to be for nothing.

Batman: The Knight #5 was a decent issue that continued showing Bruce's training towards becoming Batman. If you have enjoyed the book so far, there is no reason you won't like this issue. I am still enjoying it enough, but I think I need something a bit more in-depth to recommend it. Read Full Review
Wow! This book is and has been brilliant! I have loved every panel of every issue so far. This is shaping up to be one of my favorite stories
This issue was a little slow to start, but by the end, it was a very enjoyable read.
My hype for Zdarsky Batman gets bigger every time i read a new issue of this series, this is great, his voice for every character that appears in this series is near-perfection. We're 6 issues in and none of them felt like a waste of time, Bruce is really going on a journey that is changing his life forever, he's learning and evolving and he still has a long way to go, and there is still time for a lot of things to happen. I don't know how this will end but if we know something about Zdarsky's previous works is that epic moments are a constant presence, specially when getting closer to the finale.
This book continues to be so much fun and it does feel so very BATMAN, but more over, it's a BRUCE WAYNE book.
I really liked this issue. This gives me hope for chip Zdarsky writing Batman.
The worst issue of the series, and possibly the worst thing I’ve read written by Zdarsky, so far. While everything leading up to it shows how Bruce develops different skill sets to become the Batman, this issue just has him bumbling through, throwing a book his mentor wanted him to retrieve into the river, and ends with “now you’re ready for masks.” Why would Oblosnky want to continue to train Bruce after he deliberately failed the task she set him up to do? Also, wasn’t Bruce worried that the top secret book might wash up somewhere? Nothing about this issue made sense.
A bit of a stumble in an otherwise great series
i feel like we are back to the first couple issues for no good reason at all other than the word "masks" has appeared multiple times, despite bruce wearing earlier??
