Dec 17, 2025The Bat-Man Second Knight #2 is a haunting book full of horror elements and stand-out moments featuring Batman and Superman alike. Dan's creating a dark story with the help of Simon and both Mikes that feels grimy and grim, and yet we cannot look away. This book is a welcome change of pace for Batman, and you need to be reading it!! Read Full Review

Dec 17, 2025These are very faithful recreations of the 1930s Superman, and the characterization of both is great, but the genre instantly changes the second you have a bulletproof man in a story about a very human, vulnerable vigilante. But this remains a fantastic series, and one of the best achievements of Dan Jurgens' very long DC career. Read Full Review

Dec 22, 2025The Bat-Man: Second Knight #2 is a dense, rewarding read that respects the legacy of these characters while putting them through a much darker, historical ringer. It's a story about the scars left by war and how fear, if left unchecked, can turn neighbors into monsters. Read Full Review

Dec 24, 2025I would recommend reading The Second Knight to any Batman fans or detective story sleuths, even without having read First Knight. Jurgens is famously known for his work on The Death of Superman, and his story thus far has felt nostalgic—a welcomed change of pace and setting compared to the current Batman runs on offer (which are all amazing, by the way). What a time to be a Bat-fan. Read Full Review

Golden age Superman is a nice surprise. Even if it totally shifts the tone of the book. But with the themes involved it does feel like Wesley Dodds should be here.
