Ratings and reviews

This was m'y first Batman title in ages. It is a little uneven in places, but does a good job of conjuring some of those moments from the seventies and eighties, when I first started reading Detective Comics.

I like the comic and the movie of this... Maybe the movie a little more... I love Damian Wayne! And I wanted Talia al ghul to stay with Batman. I like her better than batman being with Selina Kyle but that's just me... Good story.

The plot seemed fragmented. Too many tangents.
