5.0

Deluded, delusional and horrifying, this is a fascinating and terrifying entry into the Batman-Joker chronicles. Snyder writes a horror story rather than a superhero story and while of course, Batman emerges victorious, its not without scars and not the one the title indicates. While there is no need to read any of the tie-ins, there are instances where the lead story seems a bit incomplete without the tie-ins. Scott Snyder easily has to rank among the best Batman writers and Greg Capullo's artwork is haunting and chilling.
