This is my favourite Batman graphic novel to date. Dave McKean's artwork is fantastic and brings it's own level of horror, darkness, and atmosphere, to the story. The script by Grant Morrison is fascinating. I highly recommend reading the final draft script at the end of the books as it adds a whole other level to the story. It's also interesting to see what Dave McKean included and what he left out, and it also meant that I was able to enjoy some subtle touches that I may have missed without the script. Overall outstanding and a must have for Batman fans. Oh, and the lettering is also amazing, and the Joker, well I feel he's probably the most frightening that I've seen him...
