s past crimes influencing the current situation involving street violence, vengeance and the occasional superpowers, One Dark Knight is at its best when it just embraces its action-filled premise that evokes John Carpenter’s films such as Escape from New York.

Jock has also produced key art and concept design for films including Dredd , Annihilation , Star Wars: The Last Jedi , and the Oscar-winning Ex Machina . Jock’s art is never slick and polished, but rougher and messier than conventional standards, which always work when it comes to darker stories and certainly when it comes to the streets of Gotham, there is a constant grittiness to that world, with an over-emphasis of shadows given the context of the story. The only single issue of Batman I have sought out and purchased was a one-shot by Jock from a handful of years back.Now every light in Gotham is out, the police are in disarray, and a broken, bleeding Batman must fight his way to Blackgate, block by block, dragging E.

The beginning is a little rocky as it starts the novel in the wrong place I feel, it should have started with a flashback and then to the present day. It takes the whole first issue for that set-up of the blackout to happen, so initially you are reading a Batman story you have seen many times, which is our hero escorting a villain (albeit a new creation for this book) with help from the police, at least from Commissioner Gordon.

Of course I’m not suggesting that there should be an entire fourth issue that deals with just arresting all the criminals, but it’s really just the sudden switch from the war zone to the GCPD rounding up the criminals that I find a little jarring.I don't understand why this was praised so much and I don't understand the fascination with Jock's work. Even the Police is in on it, to the point of murdering one of their own without any plausible reason given.
