I don't want to go into spoilers (Despite being older comic) but the last three issues left me glued to the page and heart thumping like crazy. He draws James as this normal looking kid but the expression on his face is as scary as anyone you'd find in Arkham Asylum. There is a dead woman inside the whale, and Batman visits Sonia to investigate the death of her friend. James Gordon manages to deduce the Peter Pan killer as Roy Blount because Roy had met the children because of his cleaning business and has burns on his arm and neck.

During the chaos, William Rhodes accidentally drives himself into a wall, killing himself, but Barbara Gordon creates a fake identity and invitation for Dick to sneak in. Snyder arbeitet sehr minimalistisch mit der Anzahl seiner Charaktere, dafür sind die aber definierter, sie ergänzen sich gegenseitig und indirekt in die Story sehr organisch. The actual story here is that Dick Grayson, now Batman, has uncovered a terrifying and strange case when he discovers that a nightmarish auction is being held where the criminals of Gotham City’s possessions are all being sold to the rich citizens of Gotham City. It is known for being the final Batman storyline of the Post-Crisis DC Universe before the 2011 reboot initiative New 52.They investigate several murders and track down two officers who have sold equipment from the super-villain evidence locker to a mysterious man known as the Dealer. I particularly enjoyed the chapters that focused on other characters - it shows Batman as just one part of a busy city. Commissioner Gordon tells Dick that his son came back, and asks Dick to meet him to make sure he's fine.

Because he has no powers, because he won't kill, and because he exists in a fabricated universe that requires timelessness to insure its commercial survival, Batman lives in a perpetual state of almost-but-not-quite falling apart. Having considered what the “Black Mirror” is itself, I believe the symbol states that good and evil are reflections of one another, rooted in the same pain, intensity, conflict, and chaos. Also, Dick talks to people in a different way and his interactions with other characters is according of how Dick Grayson would do it, not Bruce’s. Gotham is still the same dark and often rainy town, but the approach of the bat is a little different and I like it. Now, I'll also be honest, I've also been becoming a superfan of James Gordon JR ever since I read about him in Suicide Squad, and seeing him shine in this volume was an especially good treat.

I really liked to see Dick Grayson as Batman, he is so different than Bruce, and yet he is so great at it with his own way of doing things. The story implies he is trying to turn himself around, but in typical Gotham fashion from the Criminal-mastermind's daughter's supposed redemption to Jim Jr's new path of taking his happy pills- nothing is what it seems. Batman infiltrates the Mirror House with Oracle's help, a moving location the Dealer uses to hold his macabre auctions.
