A brilliantly entertaining tease of one of the best video games of all time. Paul Dini continues to prove why he is one of the greatest writers to ever approach 'The Dark Knight'.

As a prelude to the game this is really good. I enjoyed myself the entire time. Paul Dini has a knack for Batman.
If you’ve played Batman: Arkham City and want more of that you should pick this up immediately because it fits right in.
If you just like Batman it’s an interesting spin on a Hugo Strange tale and enjoyable for all the other villains that pop up. Batman’s inner monologue is also written really well and might be my favorite part.
The digital chapter that come after the prelude are lackluster but they are almost always that way because other than summarizing backstory they can’t do much.
Solid read, even better than I was expecting.
4 stars.

A friend gave me this because he isn't into comic books like me. It takes place in between batman Arkham alysum and batman Arkham city. It does fill in some major gaps but I feel like something was missing. It also felt very drawn out and I ended up losing interest about half way through, while still finishing it though.
