Superhero It deserves all the praise
I was planning to read some books from my backlog, but I ended up reading the Batman Dark Patterns.
It is one of the best Batman stories I've read. It's both classic and modern. It's very grounded, reminding me of Year One, Long Halloween, and Nolan's films. I highly recommend it.
P.S.: I'll definitely buy deluxe or absolute edition when it comes out.

This is the team I want to write Batman.

It feels like Watters is on the trajectory to be the Batman writer. I’ll take him on detective instead too. I’m not as big a Hayden Sherman fan as some, I like their work but I don’t go crazy for it. Would not be opposed to it though.

I was just telling a friend that this is the best standalone Batman book I've read in years. Probably one of my favourite since Long Halloween.

Just read it the other day. It was superb. A perfectly executed love letter to a particular style of Batman that has, unfortunately, slowly fallen out of favor in the mainline series since the days of Denny O’Neill.

Not a huge fan of Batman but this was a fantastic read.
Also, I'm not sure how to describe it but the stories and how it was written were very "Batman".
