Batman: The Black Mirror by Scott Snyder
5.0
I had read many reviews of this book and the vast majority of them said that it was orgasmic. So, I fully expected this book to blow me away.
I was blown away.
Everything about this book was just perfect. I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever. It was probably the creepiest Batman book I've ever read, and I mean that in the best possible way. The villain is just so creepy. His face, the way he talks, his smile, all of it! And the art makes it even creepier with the red and black themes of certain panels.
Other than a Blackest Night tie-in, this was my first exposure to Dick as Batman and it was wonderful. I like him as Batman, but he's not at all like Bruce's Batman. And I think that's a good thing.
If you like Batman at all, this is a definite must-read. Do yourself a favor and buy this.
Oh, and there are some pretty awesome nods to Year One, A Death in the Family, and The Killing Joke. And there's a pretty chilling reveal (maybe?) about what happened in The Killing Joke. It's pretty creepy. You'll love it.
