The premise and introduction did the work well enough but the middle and ending were just so dull, it was hard to stick to it given how little interest I had in seeing the arc play itself out. I just felt it was way too self-serious at times, the story never expands on any of the cool ideas Jock throws at the reader, and the mapped-out Gotham feels underused somehow. Unfortunately, the villain is a living EMP grenade and is pretty much instantly set off, plunging the city even deeper into darkness.

Batman: One Dark Knight collects issues 1-3 of the DC Comics Black Label series written, drawn, and colored by Jock. Even the Police is in on it, to the point of murdering one of their own without any plausible reason given. The art takes advantage of one-page and two-page images utilizing the full panel to tell one image or have a full image in the background.

There’s no reason given for why they want to do this but I’m going to be charitable to Jock and suggest that he meant to imply that Vasquez was offering a substantial bounty for them killing EMP - because this simple explanation is never once mentioned in the dismal script.Can even Batman deliver the prisoners across different gang turfs, his rouges and the usual police corruption (this is Gotham). Follow Batman as he traverses block by block across a pitch dark Gotham City while dragging a highly difficult E. Jock also doesn’t rely on focusing on the usual Batman rogue gallery other than a for a cameo in the last issue. was transferred from a temporary holding cell to his permanent home at Blackgate Prison in Gotham Harbor.
