A tight, noir-inspired Batman tale that moves at a break-neck pace. Only wish it was a little longer so that the ending didn't seem a bit forced. There was a lot more the writers could have explored here but didn't--but it was well-written nonetheless.I liked how the James Robinson wrote Robin. I'm not the biggest Robin fan, but I really liked him here, and Robin's story arc--specifically, the end--was very touching, and adds another dimension to Batman and Robin's relationship. Robinson also handles Harvey Dent's inner battle with his alter-ego quite convincingly. There's some random appearances from other members of Gotham's Rogue's Gallery: Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, Killer Moth, Scarface, Scarecrow, Mad Hatter, and some lesser-known villains: Orca, KGBeast, and Magpie. Another minor villain shows up at the end and winds up being quite important to the plot, whose identity I shall not reveal. In addition to the writing, there's some really solid artwork here. They should have used glossy paper when collecting this into trade paperback--it would have done the dark, astmospheric colors more justice. For those interested, this trade paperback collects issues 817-820 of Detective Comics and issues 651-654 of Batman.
