They have never been more confident in their storytelling."-New York Post "Batman's new direction gets off to a great start with some strong characterization and inventive art." - IGN "Scott Snyder has reinvented Batman, deepening and humanizing the Dark Knight's myth like no one since Frank Miller in the 1980s."-The New York Times
