Ratings and reviews

This was a good book, if say a definite 4.5 stars. I liked it better than DK2. The art was a bit odd at times, but I guess that is to be expected. Also, some parts of the story fell short in terms of the precedent that has been set; but overall, I think it was great, and am glad to see a return to form for The Dark Knight series.

A MONUMENTAL STEP-UP FROM THE DARK KNIGHT STRIKES AGAIN. The story grabs your attention almost as well as The Dark Knight Returns. Andy Kubert was a great choice for the artwork. Frank Miller you did a great job with this 🔥story.

It's more mythical than political, which I enjoyed. There's some cringe inducing stuff, but I liked the book overall.
