Fascinating and fantastic art. I found it a little hard to follow, which is partly on purpose and partly my issues following comics. Still, overall I loved it. (How can I fail to love any Batman comic was a canon Batman/Joker slash moment?)
(19:33) (2:50) I don't even know what I'm reading but I wonder how long does it take to make the whole book because it seems like every page take atleast months to make.
It was very visually stimulating and interesting, but it is just not my style of GN. I enjoyed the editor's comments at the end more than the actual story.
Great art, not so great a story. I was bored throughout and really only the art kept me turning the pages.
I really love McKean's illustrations. It wasn't bad- I wish it could've been longer, actually.
I am one of the rare Batman fans who will tell you they didn’t enjoy Grant Morrison’s ran on the flagship Batman title. I found it convoluted, contained too many titles that were crossovers, and while it hearkened back to the mythos from the Silver Age, it alienated many fans who were unfamiliar with characters from those comics.
So basically I was extremely hesitant to read this story, based not only on my previous experience with Morrison but also because of how abstract and strange Dave McKean’s art is.
my fucking god did this book blow all reservations i had out of the water. it’s just terrific. terrifically plotted, terrifically drawn, and ambiguous.
It is one of the most non-traditional Batman stories I have read, but I still cannot recommend this book enough. Also this book is rare in that it frightened me, but I won’t spoil the scene I am talking about.
I may have to reread Morrison’s other Batman titles as well, considering I read them between the ages of 10 and 11.

It was super creepy. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I do think that the font for the Joker was ridiculously hard to read, though.
The premise was so good... And then it all became so plain. Very prettily, darkly drawn, yet the story doesn't do it justice.
