Legends of the Dark Knight: Alan Davis by Carmine Infantino, Eufronio Reyes Cruz, Mik W. Barr, Alan Davis, Terry Beatty
4.0
Alan Davis' art coupled with Mike Barr's writing were the Batman combo I didn't know I needed! Dynamic (hehhh) and expressive, Davis imbues Gotham with so much life you'll just breeze through this unfortunately fairly overpriced collection in a few hours.
I hadn't really been aware of Mike Barr, but his take on the Dark Knight -- essentially a slightly more serious Adam West in a 1980s Daredevilesque colorful crime world -- may have become my personal favorite all in the course of one collection.
Buyer beware! The run of Detective Comics that Davis did ends with #575, the first issue of the Year Two storyline. However, the book then immediately jumps into Batman: Full Circle - a one-shot sequel to Year Two featuring a new person taking up the identity of the Reaper. This is confusing as fuck and the book has no text intros or interstitials explaining this!
