But this time, he teams with Eisner Award-winning illustrator and comics legend John Romita Jr. 1: THE COURT OF OWLS, as well as BATMAN: BLACK MIRROR and AMERICAN VAMPIRE. 1: MY OWN WORST ENEMY! Snyder is one of the most critically acclaimed authors in the comics world, with titles that include the genre-defining BATMAN VOL. The art is explosive and amazing, the twists and turns and cliffhangers truly are stunning, and Batman and Two-Face’s relationship is almost as adorable as Duke and Bats–and that’s saying something.From the #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of BATMAN, Scott Snyder, comes his newest Dark Knight project as a part of DC Universe Rebirth, ALL-STAR BATMAN VOL. There’s also a great subplot about Jim Gordon breaking into Wayne Manor to uncover Bruce’s secret identity that is huge in issue two…and THEN DISAPPEARS FOR TWO ISSUES OH MY CHRIST. Batman fights in diners, with a chainsaw in a cornfield, on top of a train…IT’S OUT OF CONTROL AND I LOVED IT.

If you enjoyed Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and wished there were more super villains, explosions, mutated Croc people, and super bat gadgets, this is exactly what you should pick up. Two-Face has an impressive plot, and he needs Bats to help him–and it’s a long, long way from Gotham.

That is my exact feeling for All-Star Batman.

Then I had to wait a week for the next episode and I was like NOPE. I watched and I enjoyed it, and I was blown away by how over the top and crazy it was, while still being super entertaining. When 24 came out, I was like “hey this looks good!” It’s got the drunken gravelly voiced yelling guy, and the cute chick from Old School, and the Allstate guy! Guns and explosions and suspense, and only an hour per episode! REAL TIME! OH EM GEE.
