I don't even know how to start. The art, the story, everything is just beautiful. This isn't just another stupid comic book, it's a piece of art. I didn't like the Riddler that much before reading this, but honestly this take of the character is just so good. It's definitely something different from the Riddler everyone knows, but it's not a bad thing. If you haven't read this one, go do it now. Seriously, I really liked it.

Pretty good, in my opinion. Definitely a "must read" if you're getting into Batman, or just DC comics in general. It was one of the first Batman comics I read. As the title says, it's about the beginning of the batman and it includes the beginning of Catwoman too. Now that I think about it, I should totally read a Catwoman solo comic.
Another classic, another masterpiece... And technically another origin story. I might be a bit biased with the rating since Two-Face is my favourite villain, but I think it deserves those five stars. It's a really long comic, basically there's a killer in Gotham that only murders people in festive days such as Halloween or Christmas. It also shows how the mafia loses its power in Gotham now that the supervillains are the real threat. 10/10 would read again.
JASON TODD, MY BELOVED... ehem... Now, seriously. This is a really good comic. Again, I might be biased since Red Hood is my favourite character... But can you blame me? This is honestly an incredible story. I loved the art, too. The part where Jason crawls out of his grave is just iconic at this point. And it's such a dramatic comic too. Go read it now.
This is one of the first Batman comics I've ever read too. And it's also a classic, of course. The art style is beautiful in my opinion. About the story, I find it interesting too. This comic is important to understand what happened to Barbara Gordon that made her leave the role of Batgirl behind and become Oracle. Talking about the batgirls, it's a bit sad to see recent comics where Barbara is Batgirl. It's an erasure of her disability, and in my opinion Cassandra Cain will always be the superior Batgirl, while Barbara is better as Oracle, and Stephanie Brown as Spoiler, but that's another story. (Sorry, I got a bit carried away lol)
Finding a good adaptation of Damian and the Al Ghul family in general is not easy. It's refreshing to see a comic where Talia is portrayed as a loving mother instead of a cold killer that only sees her son as a killing machine. Same goes to Damian, it's nice seeing him have more of a personality instead of being a cold brat with a superiority complex. And did I mention how much I love the art style? Also, I really liked seeing Damian and Jason working as a team, they're two of my favourite members of the Bat-Family.

Of course I had to talk about this GEM. God, I don't even know where to start... It's just SO. GOOD. It's totally different from what we've seen before, and oh I love it, I absolutely love it. (heh, get it?) I just can't wait to see where they're planning to take this story but I'm so excited. It's honestly an incredibly good story, and I have high hopes for it... And of course, the art style is really good!
