This amazing series ends with a sniper taking out their
frustrations on the citizens of Gotham. It works to help bring all of the subjects
of this mini-series together from the dying elderly couple to the ex-con, as
well as the Dark Knight himself. I
thought how most of the ending was handled was superb. Mind you, this book was
published 20 years ago before mass shootings became an almost every day subject
on the national news. God, then you got that Colorado shooter at the Dark Night
Rises premier to think of. I don’t think
you’d have this sort of ending happen in a Batman title today.
I did not think
every ending was perfect. The very last plot thread was tied up just a little too
neatly. It was like the ending to a Capra film.
Regardless, this series was nearly flawless. A true
reflection of the times and oddly, it had me reminiscing of better times,
despite the tragedy and despair that occurs in the pages of this series.
Worth Consuming.
Rating for this book 9 out of 10 stars.
Overall series rating 9.74 out of 10 stars.
