About this deal

Had Jock opted for a more down-to-earth and to-the-point narrative voice for Batman—like he did in the previous issues! But other pages, like the shots of Gotham City’s skyline or the bridge action scene in the final issue, show just how amazing of an artist Jock can be when given the time and space. Its angle was the gentrification accelerated by Bruce Wayne's "urban development," and I thought it did a pretty good job while also looking stunning.

There is only one Batman villain from his rouge galley of villains, I will not say who because it was a fun surprise in the novel, but most villains are street-level gang members.The Joker brutally beating Amanda Waller with shades of Killing Joke in Suicide Squad: Get Joker is one instance, which surely would have raised some (more? First of all, Batman’s inner monologue is needlessly edgy, to a point that it’s just too over-the-top for me.

Jock's artwork is of course quite nice, but even then there are portions where it is quite apparent to my untrained eye that deadline crunch was felt. If anything — and here even I’ll suggest I might be reading too much into it — there’s a little bit in terms of the colors Jock uses and the sparsest of homages that suggests to me a way in which One Dark Knight might be further understood. Now every light in Gotham is out, the police have been knocked into disarray, and a broken, bleeding Batman must fight his way to Blackgate, block by block, dragging E. The Van transports a criminal known as EMP that can turn himself into an electro-magnetic bomb, he can do this on purpose and sometimes not. That would also explain the abundance of gangs on the streets: plenty of targets for the player to have fun beating up, like in Arkham City, because the best part of the Arkham series was the fight mechanics of those games, which was second-to-none.There were also a few points in the book where it wasn't clear to me what was going on, from a visual perspective. stars earned for the incredible art alone, but there’s just not much more to give this one credit for. Jock has also produced key art and concept design for films including Dredd, Annihilation, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and the Oscar-winning Ex Machina. in time to save him, than seeing Batman get beaten into the ground, only to get back up and hit back twice as hard. No more of Gordon from then on before he conveniently pops up in the last pages for a hackneyed twist.
