- Awesome
No matter what kind of person you are--Batman fan or no, comic fan or no--you will enjoy this story. If you've never read a comic, make this your first!! Highest possible recommendation.

If you're only going to own one graphic novel, this should be it. Frank Miller's writing is cold, realistic, and wonderful. David Mazzucchelli's art is non-traditional but realistic and amazing.

- Wanted to read it again right after I finished it
Text book definition of a perfect Batman comic. The art really complements the feel Frank Miller creates with his writing. Draws you in right from the start and doesnt let you go. It is as much a Jim Gordon story as it is a Bruce Wayne/Batman story but that is in no way a bad thing. Both stories intermix and become an incredible reading experience. The only negative comment is that it is only 4 comics and leaves you wanting more. But it is very well crafted and wanting more is no problem because I plan on reading it over and over again. An amazing read especially for the low Amazon.com price.

Rating:

- a classic
When you think of the greatest comic book writers out there, you invariably end up with Frank Miller (usually the first or second you mention). And Batman is the greatest comic book character. And nobody does Batman like Frank Miller does.

- incredible
this is the best comic book i have ever read. it is far more than just a super hero story, but an in-depth crime drama. this book reminds me more of the movie Serpico or other crooked cop stories. james gordon in this is in my top 5 characters of any story, comic, book, or movie. just great.
