Batman: Ego and Other Tails by Darwyn Cooke

dark medium-paced

4.0

 Cooke’s art is amazing and what bumps this up from a 3 to a 4. Love seeing all the different styles in the other stories. 

Ego’s really the only story worth reading. It’s the classic tale of Bruce vs Batman. It explores his motives, his fears, his inability to kill the Joker (a topic that is constantly explored), the blood on his hands, the question of if Bruce/Batman need the Joker (another subject that is often explored). The writing itself isn’t the best, especially given the subjects it explores, but I liked it well enough. I happen to really enjoy any stories that explore Bruce’s psyche.
