Ratings and reviews

spectacular in ways that make no sense. a true modern masterpiece to rival The Dark Knight returns, it's been a long time since I've fell in love with a Batman story so completely

Takes way too many queues from bad fiction, Batman: Last Knight in Earth is a disturbingly good but disappointing predictable story. When Batman is possessed by the Anti-life equation the whole world goes to hell as he conquers it. The real meat of the story is following the adventures of a Batman clone in his prime armed with skills and subconscious of Batman in his purer days as he explores a Mad Max Gotham centered landscape decades after the actual Batman reign terror has ruined warped things. Cameos from the greater DC Universe tend to ruin the story as Wonder Woman feels forced and that redesign is just horrid.

A great elseworld Batman story by one of the greatist Batman writers and artist.
