Really good action and I enjoy Miller's Artwork in here as well. Carrie Kelley is a great Robin. However I'd loved to have seen Batman a little more as a detective in here, and at some point the Story can drag a little. Issues 1 and 3 are the clear stand outs in my opinion.
Obviously this book was very influential, and it should be held in high regard for it, but the story itself is a little overrated, and the final issue started the (annoying) trend that Batman is basically invincible with enough prep time. However it's still an enjoyable read and essential for every Batman fan.
