Batman: The Black Mirror

Product Information

And the scene with Joker and Dick where the former immediately knows him not to be "his" Batman (and asking Dick to tell Bruce to come back). No wonder he's rocking the main Batman title still, even after four years since the launch of New 52.

In the story The Black Mirror a series of brutal murders pushes Batman's detective skills to the limit and forces him to confront one of Gotham City's oldest evils. For years, Batman and Commissioner Gordon have stared into the unyielding black abyss that is Gotham City.It does test the mettle and spiritual strength of both Jim and Dick to conquer the challenges of working in Gotham.

Having just read "American Vampire" I wasn't sure Scott Snyder had the writing chops to create a Batman series this good, but he proves in "The Black Mirror" that he is easily as talented as the more experienced Batman scribes out there and can create a menacing, taut storyline to boot. Some of the best and creepiest stuff revolves around Gordon’s messed up son who may not wear a crazy outfit but definitely belongs in the ranks of Gotham’s criminally insane. The tone of this series was pretty dark, but I liked that Snyder was still able to insert a bit of humor to it. Anyone who does not like reading about serial killers or disturbing psychological issues might be a bit disturbed with this story. They believe he's going to use his connections with Leslie Thompkins to infect an infant nutrition center, turning hundreds of babies into young sociopaths.

Their conversations were absolutely great and funny and I loved these little moments of humanness in an otherwise pretty wild and scary story.

While some unfortunate production issues on the hardcover keep the collection from being flawless, this is still a must-own piece of Dark Knight history". In short, on a subconscious level, they are disenfranchising a group of individuals for their reading choices. However I must admit that this collection was as exciting as some of the Bruce Wayne Batman stories. Now, after reading “Batman: Hush,” I said to myself that I wanted to read more “Batman” stories that featured Dick Grayson since I loved his character in “Batman: Hush.
