The Joker is dead! But as a new day begins in Gotham City, Dangerous new threats emerge and, Bruce Wayne still recovering from his injuries after his fight with The Joker must tend to them.

This graphic novel was absolutely wonderful to read; action, one-liners, The Joker (in a way), Harley Quinn, The Penguin, great art…etc.

Batman must fight terrible villains...well some vicious villains...well these two.



The Joker shows is face in a recorded testamente, demanding his body be returned to Harley Quinn...



Harley is looked up, but Bats, breaks her out to save Gordon's life when he is poisoned.





So she promise him that, she is a changed girl and tells him where the cure is and everything of course goes to hell. Harley Quinn changed? Never!

Instead she align herself with The Penguin...




Right, feeling as nauseous as me now? I do ship odd couples, but Harley smooching The Penguin, no thank you.

Then Fox has some problem...



In Germany...



The Twins are back!



So, that is some of the stuff that went on in this graphic novel. Loved it, looking forward to reading more.

Leave you all with one of my favorite scenes from Batman: Arkham Knight Vol. 1:

Not bad, but not too memorable either. There are some truly epic panels here, though, especially the one where Alfred calls Bruce a "ridiculous human being."

Suggested for those who wish they could have more Batman in their lives. Otherwise, there are far better Batman stories out there. ( )

Game prequels are hit or miss and for me this was a miss. Maybe I would have liked it more if I played the game. [I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.] ( )

Review will be posted after the book is published and the review embargo is lifted on Jun 16, 2015.

UPDATE
Pretty good rendition of Batman. I'm not familiar with any of the Arkham video games, so the part of the story that ties it to the games is lost on me.

Overall, the story was good, and it had the feel of the old 60s TV Batman, especially the way the villains and bad-guys join forces against Batman, and the way said villains' plans always seem to fail because they can't work together for very long. This isn't a bad thing, and definitely works for the storyline here.

The artwork is very good, and provides a definitive separation between Gotham in the daytime and Gotham at night. ( )
