"A+. The hero's got personality (and is unafraid to release a quip
as sharp as a Batarang), a horde of supervillains, gumption to
spare and a whole host of high-tech gadgetry to suitably impress
longtime fans and those new to the Dark Knight."
--USA Today "This is one of the best comics of the week."
--The New York Times
"[Writer Scott Snyder] pulls from the oldest aspects of the Batman
myth, combines it with sinister-comic elements from the series'
best period, and gives the whole thing terrific forward-spin by
setting up an honest-to-gosh mystery for Batman to solve."
--Entertainment Weekly
"Scott Snyder, already the company's greatest asset over the last
four weeks, spins a stack of plates immediately.... Too often
Batman comics focus heavily on the hero persona ... Snyder sets up
equal amounts of conflict for both Wayne's public and private
personas."
--Time Out Chicago "A stunning debut.... Snyder knows these
characters, sets up an intriguing mystery, and delivers some action
that Capullo realizes stunningly. This is definitely in the top
rank of the revamp.
--The Onion AV Club "Hits all the right notes. I enjoyed the living
hell out of this." - io9 "Bruce Wayne is a badass. The end."
--IGN, 9.5 Rating "A+. Incredible tone and enough twists, turns and
character appearances to keep us hooked."
--UGO "There's enough here, kept at a high enough level to make it
interesting and viable across media and digestible enough for even
the most novice DC Universe reader.... Score one for DC and score
one for Snyder and Capullo in finding a new fan."
--Comic Book Resources
