So many people told me how incredible this was supposed to be, so I went in with high expectations. I don't really read comics, but at least expected a decent story. the story was just so sparse and predictable. I guess people dig the art in this? I don't know.
Overall, I really enjoyed this story. I can see how this novel helped to inspire Nolan's Batman Trilogy (note: I'm not sure if this directly inspired Nolan's movies, but I definitely was reminded of The Dark Knight while reading this novel).
The artwork was refreshing. It had this gritty, non-polished look to it. And I loved the renditions of infamous Batman Baddies like the Scarecrow and Joker. What I didn't love about the art was the depiction of “ordinary” civilians. Bruce Wayne, Alfred, Gordon, Harvey Dent...they all kind of fell flat for me. It took me a while to recognize them; however, those narration bubbles really helped me out.
4 out of 5 stars from me. Took off points for some of the art as well as the pacing of the novel.
