5.0

Can I just say I LOVE this? Getting the backgrounds on the Dark Knights, how the mimic Batman but also the justice league? The stories are great and strung together well, you get to learn the history how they all came together. I do not like the bat who laughed; Only probably because of just how dark and sinister he is and has no care for anything. But these are Batman's worse fears/nightmares of himself. We get to see them, and how they came to be our bad guys in this set.
The artwork is stunning! Even when drawing out monsters, certain aspects of belts and outfits it's all done together carefully where you aren't missing it in one panel and the other you are. I love how the Dawn Breaker's single page looks it's creepy enough but also fits his image rather well. My favorite out of them would be Bryce, the bat-mariner of the knights. There's something about her that makes you understand her story of why she did what she did and everything?

It's a dark book, but this arc isn't light at all and it's not suppose to be gentle and hopeful. We're going into the Dark Multiverse and seeing how all the knights were gathered and why they were chosen. It's appealing in a the way you get to know your villians, so you can hate or love them. I would recommend this book to my friends.
