A review by jakewritesbooks
Batman: The Cult by Jim Starlin

4.0

(3.5) Certainly a different take on the Batman mythos. Really enjoyed parts of it, including Batman being mentally broken (was well done) and Jason Todd doing something decent as Robin. Gotham-as-80s-NYC was good too, this almost felt like a disaster movie more than a Batman tale. I think the weakest part was Deacon Blackfire himself. His character was thinly drawn and his motives, while well explained, didn't earn their moments. I'm giving it a tentative 4 stars, might have to review that at some point. The book is sticking with me, I can't tell if that's in a good way or not.
