Batman: Last Knight on Earth
by Scott Snyder
Last Knight is the "final" part of Snyder's batman run. Till that new metal part 2 event comes.
I thank Snyder for getting me into batman. His new 52/black mirror run made me a Batman fan and then read all the older Batman and newer stuff too. So he'll always be cool in my book.
But his recent Batman output has been meh. Some good stuff like Batman who Laughs worked but Metal, No justice, and even his Justice League and All Star Batman vary from shit to okay.
Anyway, enough rambling. You wanna know what I think of Last Knight on Earth? Well, it's not bad.
Basically it starts off with Bruce in Arkham and you believe he has gone crazy. That the whole Batman thing was all in his head. This has been done a million times in movies and TV shows and comics but it's no different here. Except Snyder quickly says fuck that and we get thrown into a world that is broken and Batman, with his trusty sidekick Joker, go on a epic adventure to try and "fix" the world.
It's not bad. I actually liked Bruce and Joker her.e They were pretty funny together. I also thought the art was good and the scenery and mad max type world was fun. I liked a lot of the redesigns too and some horror elements worked well here. But that's the thing. The story itself feels safe, easy, and not something that blew me away. It's missing the "whoa" factor that I know Snyder can produce. Also, the ending is weirdly placed and feels disconnected from the rest.
Is it bad? Hell no. Is it great? Eh...not really. But it's good. A 3 out of 5.
