sat0rii 's review for:

Batman, Vol. 3: Death of the Family by Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV
3.75
adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I enjoyed the emotional intensity of the narrative, the way it ties the whole 'batverse' together, and Greg Capullo's frankly incredible artwork, but I wasn't fond of how Batman was just unable to meaningfully outsmart joker in any way right up until the end.

Perhaps it could've used more pages or something, but overall, I think it's quite a solid Batman story. Maybe needed a bit more time in the workshop, but anything Scott Snyder writes is almost guaranteed to at least be entertaining.
