Batman: The Widening Gyre by Kevin Smith
4.0
That was AWESOME.
Seriously insightful, deeply meta-textual, and full of laugh out loud lines. Kevin Smith at his best. A taste, as he’s fighting a demon at Arkham Asylum, he thinks:
“Every evening as I suit up, I remind myself this could be the night I don’t come home because I’ve been crushed beneath the key of a giant prop typewriter. Or the night I die at the business end of an umbrella. Or the night I die at the hands of a caped alien god who’s realized he can just as easily enslave the world as protect it.”
This Dark Night is both Grant Morrison and Adam West. And the Joker is still reading Ayn Rand with a skeptical look. I approve.
