As with most isolated Batman comics, we're given thin excuses to re-meet classic characters, but the runway show of villains doesn't do much to sustain the book. I love realistic universes in comic books, so this one was appealing to me, but ultimately the plot is quite weak, with a story that never really seems to go anywhere. The book is engaging and well-illustrated, but not without flaws. He is working with a driver, who is the narrator for the story. The story focuses primarily on Joker, who is drawn to clearly resemble Heath Ledger's portrayal (though he doesn't speak like him), as he is released from Arkham and tries to get back the resources that he had before being locked up. Killer Croc is just a muscular guy with a skin condition, riddler and penguin and just skinny and short criminals respectively, and so on. Joker is a sort of alt-universe look at Batman, with a hyper-realistic version of the characters not unlike the Nolanverse Batman.
