From the two creators of the superb crime neo-noir epic 100 Bullets comes a Dark Knight story that reads like a detective story - where the detective in question wears a cowl and a cape and runs around rooftops. As always the artwork by Argentinian Eduardo Risso is completely electrifying with some of the best Batman clenched teeth pictures I've ever seen outside The Dark Knight Returns. Unfortunately it's slightly marred by Brian Azzarello's typically twisty writing that doesn't really know the difference between being elusive and annoying. But then I guess you should you able to tell that it's not going to be so great seeing how it starts off with a joke about God weeing on Gotham City (you think I'm joking? Ok then - read it and then get back to me).
Ah well. There's always 100 Bullets...
