Review! Batman: The Dark Knight #0 (DC)

COVER: David Finch. An "OK" Batman image but the legs and feet still feel out of perspective.
STORY: Gregg Hurwitz. An odd story that takes Bruce Wayne from his parents murder through his High
                School years. It shows his trademark obsession early on and how sometimes things are not
                quite how you think they are. The story kind of plays counter-Batman mythos by showing us how
                he learned that his parents death was a random criminal act and not a planned conspiracy. This
                knowledge should have taken all the anger out of him but he still goes out into the world to pursue
                his training. It just did not feel so necessary any more.
ART: Mico Suayan and Juan Jose Ryp.  Suayan is one of the best artists of the moment. Ryp has good
           stuff but he tends to over fill all his panels. He needs to use the "less is more" advice and not kill us
           with all those unnecessary details.
FINAL FILE: Buy, Read, Bag it...the Mico Suayan art is worth the price.
