Y’all ever read a comic so good that you’re RIPPING through it and you think “I should really try to slow down and appreciate the art more”? That’s Batman Dark Patterns for me rn

Reading Batman Earth One for 3rd or 4th time. Still holds up. It kinda has an Absolute vibe to it by taking the usual beats and subverts them somehow. If it isn’t a full on subversion there’s something cheeky (Gordon telling Bruce he’s standing on evidence. Gordon looking around and Bruce saying “over here”. Batman being not good at fighting in the first volume, etc.) This honestly might be my favorite version of Alfred and I am 100% convinced this is the version that they used in The Batman with the most recent movie. All in all a good series, I’d recommend.
