4.0

Whilst not hitting the same sweet spot the first one did, this continuation 3 years down the line picks up the gritty DC world (Earth-31 i think!) that Miller has created and taken the story that could've been a single graphic novel and followed it up by expanding the story to a global event. Batman is annoyingly missing for a good portion of the story, but his presence is felt throughout as you see him become the infallible detective yet again, and seemingly the last remaining hero with true hope. You have to put aside a lot of what you think you know sometimes to appreciate this adaptation of the DC universe, but it's one I findly deeply satisfying and relatable, whilst maybe losing a star for leaning a bit too heavily on the politics of the whole thing
