Yes, just what you needed -- another Batman book.
Except for one thing: This is just what we needed -- a Batman book you can pick up on the fly just for the love of a good Batman story, no strings attached, no need to have read the previous issue, or even the issue to come, for that matter.
As it turns out, Lemire's quirky and wispy art -- while you might not think it a fit at first -- serves well in contrasting Batman's true frail state in contrast to his cockiness. Jose Villarubia's colors are darkly vivid as one expects in a Batman tale.
