This volume took some settling into in order to get the hang of what it was doing. It's intentionally choppy and a little surreal, and the rotating art helps build this effect. But at its core, Knightmares continues King's dive into the core of Batman's character, examining his motivations and fears amidst a situations that continue to grow beyond his control. King is building toward something bold with this series, and I'm excited to see what he does with it.

Life could be a dream, but instead this run seems intent on it being a nightmare. That's an issue for me.

I liked the Clark and Lois additions as always (just wish that they were real) and it was cool to see Constantine pop up (just wish it was in a better storyline)dash_dash's review

Verging on pretentious, to be honest. The art was amazing, and definitely the best feature of this volume.

The main plot here? Bruce is trapped on a nightmare, where he is marrying Selina and the other one where his father, Thomas, tells him to stop being Batman. Probably my favorite issues were 66-67, the art is so great. At the very last end we can see Thomas fighting Bane, and they’re planning to fo to Gotham which is weird as hell.

I didn't enjoy this at all.
I hated that this just dropped into this without really knowing what was happening. I was really confused as to what was happening for a lot of it.
Not great.

This is the type of deep and meaningful BS I usually can't stand, but I guess I'd expect Tom King to go down this path. Luckily there is a lot of gorgeous BatCat art, even though it's all a dream in the end.
