Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying by Marv Wolfman
2.0
Some of the Batman graphic novels I've been combing through seem timeless, either the art style, or the story structure, or the writing, or the characters leap through the pages and hook me in.
A few of them, like Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying, are very much stuck when they were written and don't compel me as much to keep going. I never stuck to this art style, everything seems like campy 60s cheese, everybody has the same hair color; when Dick Grayson, Tim Drake and Bruce Wayne are all in the same room, I had to double check who was talking. I did like the idea of Batman needing a Robin and Tim Drake is a cool character, but all the Teen Titans stuff was over my head.
