Batman: The Dark Knight (David Finch/Scott Williams)

Hello and welcome back once again, True-Believers/Dark Knight's/Moon Knight's/What ever it is these days that you all call it!!

So...I finally got a new copy of something...I'm not sayin' I'm a cheap bastard with no time/money on my hands except for time to do Comic Book Reviews and sit around all day pressing the re-fresh page on his Facebook profile hopping people talk to me!, but I usually never do this!....Well...Maybe I am a cheap bastard with no time/money on his hands except for time to do Comic Book Reviews and sit around all day pressing the re-fresh page on his Facebook profile hopping people talk to me!! Oh well!!!! Haha, I'm so witty!...

I recently just went to the Comic "Fortress of Solitude" Shop and purchased a few goodies specially from, well, from the Comic "Fortress of Solitude" Shop! Isn't that amazing? And if you happened to read the title, you would know that this Comic I bought was the new January publish of the Batman: The Dark Knight issue #1 with the fantastic cover-art of Finch, and the creative greatness of Scott Williams!

First off, I would love to say, THIS WAS AMAZING! AND CAN'T WAIT TO GRAB THE NEXT ISSUE COMING THIS MONTH!!...
The art was great. The story was fantastic. I couldn't seem to get enough of David Finch's fantastic art! I mean seriously!!...I always liked Killer Croc (SPOILER ALERT) though I never liked him as a giant behemoth-like 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' style!...I mean, its seriously dorky. I always loved the thought of Croc being some thing like a human, mixed with a bit of scales as skin, much like the Alligator-Man. It just makes more sense in my 'expert' opinion. And with ties in with the mofia, it seems more 'realistic', even though there is not much realisticness about Batman villains.
Not only was the art great, but as well the start of this new Comic. It surely is coming along great! I love how it started with flash-backs of Wayne's parents and their death, as well as flash-backs with "Dawn Golden". A daughter of a former crime-lord of Gotham City (And just so happened to know Bruce's parents), who seemed to have gone missing and Its up to Bruce to put the puzzle pieces together and solve this mystery. But before he finds an important clue that could be crucial to the mission of finding this girl he knew from his child-hood, the Penguin shows up and has to ruin the whole deal! That punk!!...And Thats when the whole book ended! Leaving us (The readers) at a cliff-hanger! I was shouting, "NOOOOOOO!!!! THIS ISN'T LOST!!!"

Besides the cliff-hanger, I loved it! I wish ALL Batman series where like this one. He wasn't just a crime fighting vigilante in a cape like all the others. He was more of a detective, and a person with feeling. They really brought the character to life! I just wish I had the next issue already!

If this team (Finch and Williams) continues with this new series, I would be so content with it all. The Art-work was so fantastic, and I don't think I can say anything more about the story/writing that I already haven't....well....maybe I can! IT WAS AMAZING!

Of course, and as always. Batman gets another 10/10 for amazingness/greatness/epicness/everything-ness you can thing of that falls under those categories. A great read for anyone! Go out to your local Comic Shop and pick it off the shelves! Its fantastic! I'm tellin' you all! GET IT!!!!

Thanks again, from your favorite Comic Book Nerd, Chris!
