I was pretty much gnawing my fingernails off out of fear for Bruce. He’s perpetually the man of strength and indestructible resilience and stamina, so it’s frightening to see him crushed by another man. A shitty villain like Bane. Oh sure, he deduced Batman’s true identity under a year or so, but that doesn’t make him a worthy villain to me. At least Ra’s al Ghul and perhaps even Hush (the villains who know that Bruce is Batman) has more charisma and showmanship than the steroid-glutting brute. Bane is boring. It’ll be interesting to see how Bruce recovers, and how Gotham will react to the new Bat on the block ...

Rating: 3.5/5

I only read up to the part where Bane breaks him because it’s iconic. Most of the plot other than that is eh but the art is really good.

Nothing short of amazing, one of the best villains in the Batman universe was introduced in this volume

This is some of the most fun I've ever had reading a comic book, and it's my favorite type of Batman book. Fun, compelling, at times brooding. Good dynamics between Batman and Robin, as well as Batman and the Joker. Serialized, episodic content with a climactic ending. It has everything.

Possibly the best Batman story ever told.
