Batman: The Cult, by Bernie Wrightson, Jim Starlin, Bill Wray
5.0
Batman: The Cult is a pretty rad Batman story. I’d compare it to Knightfall and The Dark Knight Returns if Knightfall was better. I’d put it right up there with No Mans Land, Knightfall, and Death in the family as major trials for Batman.
Cause he gets broken here. His spirit is crushed and he has a crime fighting impotence. And it’s great. The art is amazing for one. And it’s written very well with the exception of two instances. One being Batman’s loose use of guns here and he stood by at a point while people died. And it’s a cult, you already know how ridiculous it’s going to be.
But I see why this is considered a classic. It’s violent and disturbing but very Batman. And it’s a great Jason Todd story too.
I’m giving it 5 stars.
