A review by rmgebhardt
Batman – The Dark Knight: Golden Dawn by Sal Regla, Jamie Mendoza, Ryan Winn, Scott Williams, Greg Adams, Jason Fabok, Batt, Richard Friend, Ray McCarthy, David Finch

3.0

This barely grabbed a 3, and it's only because I'm generous to Finch since I like his art style (yeah, I know it's the "kewl dude" style, but whatever) so went easy on him as he was also the writer. The art, as usual, is pretty great. The story, however, is not that great. You don't get a sense that it was thought out beyond, "Ok, I want to draw this villain, so I'll have Batman interact with him/her for some reason... probably to get information or something." This leaves us with a pretty unfulfilling story with Finch's usually great art and depictions of some of Batman's cast of villains.

Bottom line: get this only if you want pretty pictures. Go read The Long Halloween or Year One if you want good storytelling.
