Batman: Ego and Other Tails by Darwyn Cooke

4.0

While I haven't read Selina's Big Score (as I write this review currently, thus the -1 star), I can 100% attest to the fact that Batman: Ego is one of the better depictions of Bruce and his struggle to continue to be a symbol for Gotham. The entirety of the volume revolves around him having a sort of nervous breakdown (which is no spoiler) due to the heavy amount of stress he's under and the lack of sleep he gets. He's forced to confront the 'Batman' inside of him- the part of him that wants to become lethal and put an end to Gotham's festering underbelly. The entire volume shows a grand dichotomy between Bruce Wayne and Batman- his human side, and who he believes he needs to be for the city.
