Dark Night: A True Batman Story by Paul Dini
5.0
4 years, after I read this masterpiece for the first time, I am forced to revisit it. But that is how books work for me. I end up revisiting and re-thinking about books long after I've read and abandoned them.
This book has to be one of the best comic books that I've ever read.
Focus is on how Paul Dini seeks consolation and therapy in his art, and how he uses it to heal his mental trauma. More than just being a true story, the comic demonstrates the power of fiction of how it influences the way we think, and see ourselves.
Pain tends to be cyclic. People who are suffering tend to give it forward.
But, not all who were bullied, become bullies.
Some people figure out ways to dissipate the pain without causing more pain.
Some people, like Paul Dini, figure out ways to transform the pain into art.
