    Dim the Lights

    The way the writers infused into this arc story so many action, good dialogues, the ambivalence of the concepts of Darkness and Light, the morality of saving every life - even a criminal´s and his family, the embedded discussion of eugenics and preemptive murder, allied with the awesome duo that Grayson and Damian make (with the competent help of Alfred), made this three issues one of the best things I´ve ever read in DC - since I´m not a Batman fan, I consider this to be a great experience and even when Grayson uses the "Shut up" routine a few times too often, the quality of the writing and the dialogues really amazed me, because of the logics, the detective work in it and the diversity of words - I think that Gleason evolved a lot in this issue, using more shadow, if you compare his work in Brightest Day with this issue you´ll see the evolution - I liked this story a lot, a new villain that thinks he´s on a holly mission to wipe out the world of all the criminals (the actual and potential), and the fact that the writer only told a little glimpse of his origin, leaving a lot of potential to this character - I know that reading this issue, though sometimes it felt very quick (like when they were saving the falling angels), was a rush, a great balance of words and art and I´ll definitely get other stuff of this creative team if they put their hands in this tittle again! Highly recommended!

However, everything really comes together nicely in this last issue. There's a great motive behind this new villain, and his final plans and back story are a great read. What we...

      The White Knight Makes His Move! 0

      In the conclusion of the three-issue story by writer Peter Tomasi, Batman (Dick Grayson) and Robin (Damian Wayne) must stop the maniacal White Knight from killing all of the inmates of Arkham Asylum as well as their relatives. The White Knight believes in preemptive crime fighting by killing those who would pose the most threat down the line. This means murdering anyone remotely related to any super villain that has done a stint in Gotham's prisons. Batman and Robin must stop the White Knight's ...
