Magic is in the air as Bruce Wayne travels to New York City to study under the legendary John Zatara and his daughter, Zatanna. But there's dark magic loose in the Big Apple, and Bruce's path toward becoming Batman must cross it. Will a man who is training his body and mind to combat crime be ready for a spiritual threat?
If you've been sleeping on Batman: The Knight pick up this issue to see what you've been missing, particularly if you're a Zatanna fan. Read Full Review
Chip Zdarsky's script is absolutely outstanding, as is Carmine di Giandomenico's art, which gets to shine in a whole new way when the events of the issue get even more supernatural. I am genuinely in awe of how good Batman: The Knight is. Read Full Review
This story was nothing short of brilliant, a tender, difficult treatise on the subject of grief, and the choices we make in the wake of it. I cannot recommend it strongly enough. Read Full Review
BATMAN: THE KNIGHT #7 was a clever way to tie in Bruce's journey with magic while also taking the time to take a look under the hood of Bruce's mission for Justice. Readers will see his core motifs as well as the engine that runs this classic 1939 BMW 335. However, Zdarsky uses BATMAN: THE KNIGHT #7 to focus on the fuel of that engine as well as how close he is to using that very same dark drive to unravel and completely fall off the rails.

Carmine Di Giandomenico delivers some beautifully detailed and vibrant art throughout the issue. From the character designs to the wonderfully intense action, the art brilliant complements the tone of the story as well as serve its characters. Read Full Review
This feels like a great companion to the just-started Batman run by Zdarsky. Read Full Review
This is the kind of adventure you never knew you needed. Seeing Bruce Wayne at a young age encountering impossible threats and yet finding ways to beat them is exciting. He's not even Batman yet but is resourceful enough to stay alive and hold his own. To further draw readers in, Zdarsky continues to reveal a tender, more human side to Bruce Wayne. Read Full Review
Batman: The Knight #7 is a great look into Bruce's first exposure to the world of magic, and his relationship with Zatanna. The book uses magic as a way of examining Bruce's perspective on the world, and how it has left him intractable to anything that he can't control. This is the kind of story that I've been wanting from this series: a character study framed in the context of learning something new about Bruce's life. Aside from a somewhat repetitive tone and art in some parts, this is an excellent origin story. Read Full Review
Been rewatch the animated series and ironically watched the Zatana episode last night. This issue was great and may be my favorite from this run so far.
Pretty good one and done. I like that this series is being used as setup for Zdarsky's main run.
What a fun issue. Zatana is different but it's an interesting take on her character and the mythos. And Wayne as a sorcerer is something that works a lot better than I thought.
If anything, I just wish this in particular had a little more to breath but it's still a strong issue in an already strong series.
pretty good, a nice one shot that fleshes out bruce wayne and zatanna's relationship.
no no please do not tell us about thomas and Martha wayne anymore
