Snyder uses a lot of Batman with the mask off, whether he’s working in the Batcave or he’s out in public as Bruce Wayne. There’s an aspect to the character that is present in Scott Snyder’s stories that we don’t see a lot of in other Batman tales. While it was fun to read this comic as it came out month to month, because there are some very ambitious cliffhangers here, it reads a lot more smoothly as a complete volume. Going back and rereading the entire story for the first time since I read the single issues yielded results I wasn’t expecting. But how does it hold up as a trade? The answer surprised even myself. Since he has three books all to himself there was hope that at least one if not all of them would be great and it was no surprise to anyone when the self-titled Batman comic reigned supreme over all others. So when DC decided to reboot, and launch with six titles featuring Batman, there were high hopes in place for the caped crusader. Batman, he’s almost everyone’s favorite comic book character and if he isn’t he’s number two, and if he’s not your number two you’re only saying you don’t like him because everyone else does.
