This book takes place on the anniversary of the death of Batman's parents. Batman is already struggling with the anniversary when a series of personal attacks sends him reeling. I found this to be an interesting Batman story. It was easy to read, although the subject was at times dark. I would recommend to anyone who is already a Batman fan and interested in reading further into Batman mythology.

After reading the first arc I was keen on keep reading the second arc, I was very hyped that the Arkham Knight was going to be part of the comic universe. And after finishing “Medieval” arc I was really disappointed that the character isn’t as good as in the video game, and that the plot is pretty boring and a disaster, Tomasi really should quit or at least try to write some good stuff.

I enjoyed this graphic novel. It was interesting.
This follows Batman as he is dealing with someone coming after those he loves. As he is dealing with this, he also has to deal with some villian who is killing people replicating his parents death with also using Joker gas.
It was an interesting to see Batman dealing with the death of his parents again but with people that are not his parents.
It was good to see him deal with a lot but staying focused to figure out what is going on.

The story starts off with someone going after people who helped Bruce to become Batman. First it's Leslie then Henri Ducard then Thaddeus and Etrigan even and the villain is sort of a chimera who takes the form of Batman's villains or allies and Batman has to fight him to protect the ones closest to him. And then the ultimate revelation of who or rather what this program really is... It was so unique twist.
The story is pretty generic, someone going after Batman's close one and Bruce going to rescue them but I like the twist because it allows us to meet people who have influenced Bruce and show how important try are and fun sequences of Batman fighting villains and then the realization at the end why he does this to be better, to save people and to be the hero Gotham needs.
Like the name itself it's a mythology that takes us through the life of Batman and I like references to Tomasis other Batman works and also how he shows Bruce as a guy who will do anything to protect his love ones and the end could feel like it came out of nowhere or something or a cop out but then again it's the philosophy and the idea of Batman myth that the writer is hinting at and I liked that aspect.
Doug on art was amazing and I genuinely loved the way he drew it. Probably one of his best works

I liked this graphic novel okay. I thought the art was excellent, but I didn't understand what was going on at all until the last few pages. After getting it, I thought it was a pretty cool story.
