Batman (2011-2016) #1

This was so beautiful! The art and the steam punk woven throughout, along with a wonderful mystery made it one of my favorite Batman stories yet! I have so much love for this!

Now this is art work that is right up my alley. Its also an new perspective on Old Gotham viewed from the eyes of a Batman with no roots in Gotham. So it has all the ingredients of being interesting and it turned out that it was. Add to the mix that we have Tim and Cassandra, a one off villain, a doubting Batman and a upcoming Robin. All this is packaged superbly in both B/W and color presenting both old and new Gotham which is the central character in this book. But beware readers, this is more Detective comics rather than the gritty Batman that is more popular nowadays.A must in the Batman read list.

Well done story. I do have one big complaint with it - it's pre-Flashpoint, so it's got the old Damien Wayne, who is an obnoxious prat.
