I love Batman comics but this felt too edgy for my liking, there were certain moments that were a bit much and felt unnecessary, all very much of the time it was released

This is a Batman comic from the 1980s, so keep that in mind as reading. Politics and political ineptness is a running trope. Bruce's parents and his first (terrifying) encounter with the batcave comes up several times. There is other genre-typical violence throughout.
