Batman the Dark Knight is written by David Finch and illustrated by Paul Jenkins and Richard Friend. There are both flaws and great things contained in this project. Number 1, published on 9/28, covers an outbreak at Arkham Asylum. We see a personal side of Batman for a moment, as he reminds the guards about the human costs of the riot. Helping lead the charge, Batman and Arkham’s security force storm the asylum. During all the action, Batman first spots the White Rabbit.
Issue 2, published on 10/26, shows the investigation and mop up following the Arkham riot. After being bloodied by an enraged Two-Face, Batman traces the White Rabbit to where another villain waits at the end of #2. The second issue is also full of action, with great scenes of Batman's Gotham allies taking down drugged escapees from Arkham.
The White Rabbit is more interesting than the drug that she is pioneering, but I'm a little surprised by the physical effects. We see that both heroes from Batman's past are physically ripped, their muscles swollen beyond reasonable expectations. Although we see Dent's enormous guns and the physical pounding that Batman takes, the only discussion we get is of its emotional effects.
Overall, I think the first story arc of The Dark Knight will be an action packed story that highlights the human side of the Dark Knight with not so subtle hints of his fighting and detective skills.
