A nice kick off of the new 52 Detective Comics; I enjoyed the stories, but found some parts a bit hard to connect.

I've read all the Batman books that dealt with the Joker storyline but this one was fiendishly left out of the big Joker "Death in a Family" volume. So I knew I had to go back one day and read just exactly how and under what circumstances the J. had his face removed. The whole Joker story is good...

3.5 stars, rounded down. So many storylines left unresolved. Drives me crazy. How about finishing the joker story before starting the penguin story? The artwork is the best part of this volume,and is the reason it wasn't rated two stars.

A jumbled mass of disconnected stories. Unfortunately, they each feel rushed.

A classic Batman tale combining elements of all the best in the Dark Knight mythos. Has detective elements, grotesque villains, a fast paced story lines, wonderful duplicitous women, & dark fantasy. Well worth a look. Will watch for the sequel
