"I'M THE WORLD GREATEST DETECTIVE. I'LL FIND OUT WHO HIRED YOU. AND I WILL BREAK THEM TOO. YOU CAN GET YOUR OWN DAMN HELP"
Pretty great conclusion. Art by Tony Daniel was fantastic as usual and I liked how the fairytale connected to the story at the end. It makes me excited for what's coming next.
This is how I think the fairytale connected to the story:

Batman #57
By: Tom King, Tony Daniel
Released: October 17, 2018
The KGBeast isn't working alone. As the Cold War between Batman and the Russian killer heats up, Batman's nose for mystery gets to twitching when he suspects there's more to the KGBeast's attacks than initially thought. Not only does this tie back to the court case Bruce Wayne sat on involving Mr. Freeze, there's another villainous Gotham ghoul in ...

My love of Nightwing is complicated... I like to read about Nightwing, but I don't really know who the character is, as he seems to have a constantly changing (and sparingly used) supporting cast, less than compelling villains, and a rotating-door of a love life, so I've always felt it's been hard for me to really grasp who he is on his own... I'm looking forward to seeing how Ben Percy writes thi more

A bold book with a bold topic gets a bold score. An unprecedented attempt to represent the logical consequences of our heroes' adventures. And this is the best Clay Mann has been - with Morey's colors actually being my favorite part of the issue. This is one I'll reread over and over again.

There was nothing bold about any of this. It's literally just another murder mystery with poor writing and characterization with a bunch of deaths for shock value.

Solid start! The art was great, and I'm just so glad that Wolverine is back, bub. (See what I did there?)
He's the best there is at what he does, and what he does is SUPER NICE!

If there's one thing popular fiction has taught us by now, it's: never make a deal with the devil! And yet Mister Miracle is still listening when Darkseid approaches him with just such a devilish proposition-if Scott sends his newborn son to Apokolips, there will be peace on New Genesis. Since when has Darkseid been famous for his honesty?! It'll b...

Not the best story of the run, but it's still better than 90% of what's being published. Daniel's art is great.

Batman #55
By: Tom King, Tony Daniel
Released: September 19, 2018
The KGBeast lives! The Russian super-assassin is back-but under whose orders? Does he have a specific mission, or is this simply some leftover Cold War mayhem? Nyet, comrade-it has to do with Bruce Wayne's recent court case involving Mr. Freeze. Something is rotten in Gotham, and you can still smell it, even if it's on ice!

Bermejo's art work is a 10 outta 10. Azzarello's writing was bit meh. Not terrible but I was expecting a little more. Still fully on board with this series though.

The Joker is dead.
There is no doubt about that. But whether Batman finally snapped his scrawny neck or some other sinister force in Gotham City did the deed is still a mystery.
Problem is, Batman can't remember... and the more he digs into this labyrinthin...

Pretty good book. The art is excellent, but of course the highlight was Batman's dick being shown. Awesome, hilarious, and oh so weird.
