I read this 260 page graphic novel in about 2 days. The murder mystery aspect was very engaging and if you are into that at all, I would recommend you checking it out. Theres also some side aspects that make it great like the use of familiar villains. There is a lot of them yet they are incorporated in the story so well. I've recently began purchasing graphic novels so I actually benefited from not knowing the identity of certain people. If you are a novice like me in the DC comic world, you might appreciate it like I did.

I loved it. Jeff Loeb is a real traditionalist when it comes to the characters he's writing. I've read tons of his books and he doesn't re-invent the character but keeps the traditional ideas going. The art is great and the stories are classic. Everybody and anyone could pick this up and enjoy it. It's a great example of a graphic novel. I think of comics as the baby of novels and movies. Art is alive in comics! Instead of watching TV try reading this. It's a great book.

This is my favorite Batman TPB thus far, for many reasons. First of all, I thought the entire plot was spectacular; a little bit "Sopranos", a little "Godfather", but completely believable for the Gotham world, not hammy or out-of-place. Carmine "The Roman" Falcone is actually a suave, cool figure in his own right, along with the other members of the "family" (not to spoil too much, but especially a certain member featured in the very end). This very cool plot line is deliciously peppered with the classic Arkham gang, all of the favorites are here more or less in funny cameos (Joker and Scarecrow/Hatter were my personal favorites), with the exception of Catwoman, who is featured heavily, and I must say, expertly drawn and written. Somehow, the heroes are not neglected at all, least of all tragic Harvey Dent, whose mental decline is another great highlight in the meaty story. We see Bruce take on the host of villains, team with Jim Gordon to solve the murder, and even fall a couple of times, as well as his sexually tense relationship with Selina Kyle and her alter-ego. Not as in-depth with Bruce Wayne as, say, "Year One", but he is true to character, and retains his overall strength against adversity-- probably his most important character trait.
The artwork is superb; I even prefer the more bright, dramatized stylizations of Tim Sale's work, and every villain was drawn spot-on, in my opinion. The only point of contention is Bruce himself, sometimes a tiny bit awkward in face, but that has more to do with my personal tastes. Gotham is dark, moody, and slick. Very well done stuff.
I don't even think I could complain about anything here. A fantastic book, and a must-have for any Batman collection, or people who are only familiar with "Batman Begins" or the movies. The entire plot is here, you don't necessarily need to read any prior or later books as it stands alone, and it is simply a great book. If you like the Batman world even a little bit or are curious, start with this book!

Seriously, a great noir/murder mystery and Sale is outstanding for two reasons :
(i) I have never thought such long pointed ears would look cool on Batman
(ii) The chemistry between Batman and Catwoman/Selina Kyle is exhilarating and life like!
The sequel Dark Victory is equally great!

The book itself was wonderful. The story kept me hooked from start to finish, the art was great to look at, really well done stuff. The only thing thats keeping this from being 5 stars is the absolutely awful packaging. Pages were falling out of the book as soon as I got it out of the box (and I purchased it new), and by the time I was done reading it, literally NO pages were still attached to the binding. I've gotten a refund, and hopefully this was simply an issue with my copy and not the product in general.
