The title actually does describe the plot as in this tale Batman has to deal with Child trafficking and pedophiles , so yes it really does talk about The Ultimate Evil .
That basic premise is what brings in the ratings , at times the book is too bleak to read and go through , but it all Hits home and it's actually worth a read just to realize how important the subject matter is .
All said however the plot brings in a twist that i wasnt pleased about and even ignoring that the book read as a mess , with Batman acting very un Batman and the whole plot moving in a lot messy confusing pace . The art style didnt help as every thing looked ugly .
Overall it's an awful book, but the subject matter is really important
