Reviews
Snyder indelibly defined the Dark Knights previous era, but King proves a worthy
successor as he takes over the title for DCs wildly popular Rebirth initiative. Booklist
[Tom King] crafts an incredible story. Nerdist
A clean, simple gateway into the Batman franchise IGN
King sets a new stage and tone for Batman and Gotham. PopMatters
