really interesting philosophical dialogues and i really dug its dreamlike qualities. the visual style is beautiful and intriguing, although sometimes a little unclear. a lot to enjoy, but honestly, it feels too short and like there was more potential for developing batman as a character--he didn't feel that necessary to the story.

Loved everything this was doing, until it was two acts too short. File next to Ghost in the Shell.

this one is a real mixed bag. like with a lot of comics, i have issues with the pacing. it really would have benefited from being longer; there are characters that we only see on a single page that are listed on the back of the book (for instance, scarecrow, who batman never even directly faces). grant morrison also has some sort of weird problem with sex which is obscured somewhat by the fantastic art but becomes very obvious when you read the script (same with some transmisogyny). theres also, of course, some homophobia with the writing of the joker
but! theres some good things too. highlights include: amadeus arkham's plotline and i really like harvey dent in this.
