Batman: The Dark Knight, Vol. 1: Knight Terrors by David Finch
3.0
There's a good and a bad to this.
The good is that at least Batman was punching people in this one. There was a good amount of action, which some of the other new Batman titles are lacking sorely.
The bad is that the overall story was pretty, well, business as usual. Bane tried to kill Batman. Someone made a weird Scarecrow formula.
The best parts in this book were the Alfred bits. I'm serious. There were a couple sections where Alfred was actually funny instead of acting like Batman's mom and suggesting he stop fighting crime for the upteenth time. There's even a part where Alfred hands Batman an ice cream cone. I'm not sure why exactly, but regardless, seeing Batman hold an ice cream cone is one of the bigger thrills of my recent life.
I DO feel obligated to inform you at this point that my life is an endless labyrinth of darkness and shame from which there will be no escaping.
