Batman #17
The Good:
Greg Capullo is the perfect artist for Batman and he makes every issue the best that it cane be with his amazing style. He adds so much details to the Joker's face that is makes him so much more terrifying. The backgrounds are filled with lines that do nothing but improve the image. The expressions, especially the eyes convey so much emotion that he really makes these characters talk without the speech bubbles. It feels like there is a lot of symbolism in the art; such as a heart, the trays, the end computer screen, and the falling face. The story is just as good as the art and really takes Batman to a new level. We get to see Joker really manipulate everyone as Scott Snyder does it in a way that makes so much sense. The horror and shock that you will get from reading this is astonishing and will really put you on the edge of your seat. The character interaction between Bruce and everyone from the Bat-Family, especially Damian is so fantastic that it takes the characters to a new level. This issue also shows how smart Batman is and that he really cares for everyone. The ending of this issue will be with me for a long time. What Batman does with the Joker is pure genius and it really makes the ending of this story feel solid and perfect. The ending is perfect but it has something that makes things feel like they may not be done.
The Bad:
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this issue.
The Verdict: 5/5 (Perfect)
This series is just fantastic. Every issue really feels like the best thing that you have read in a while and then the next one comes out and then you realize that they manage to top the best. If you like Batman, this is the series for you. It will give you nothing but joy and fear from issue #1 to the current issue. If you aren't getting this issue, I feel bad that you are missing out on one of the best comic book runs of all time. Scott Snyder knows how to write Batman and this series continues to raise the bar of how good comics can be. I highly recommend this series to everyone.
