The other big positive for this book is the role Batman plays in it. This is probably the book’s biggest positive and is something that drew me in to the comic while I read it. Being a mystery, the story obviously has elements to it which are intrinsic to the genre unanswered questions and a number of twists keep the story interesting and keep readers ready to discover the next chapter. In this way, the majority of the story is a mystery where Batman plays the part of the World’s Greatest Detective.
#SIBBLE SILVERLOCK SERIAL#
The entire premise of this volume revolves around Batman protecting the inmates of the newly created Arkham Manor from a mysterious serial killer. If you are looking for a Batman story focused on disguise and detective work, this may be for you, but if you don’t care about this then there are other, better, stories out there. However, besides being unique, the book is pretty average overall and does not do much to make itself too desirable. It is more detective based than many other Batman stories and sees the Dark Knight rely on his intellect far more than his fists. StoryĪrkham Manor is an interesting concept and a different type of Batman story. This is a book for those seeking a Batman story where Bruce Wayne is forced to go undercover and solve a mystery, not for those seeking a high quality Batman story. However, the large number of negatives hamper this success and secure the book’s place in mediocrity. It achieves some early success by providing an interesting mystery and a different take on Batman. Overall: Though unique in some regards, this is an overwhelmingly average Batman book. A number of teases for future storylines interrupt the book and lower the appeal of the current storyline. Seeing Batman as an undercover detective is a unique experience.Ĭons: The last chapter of the book is pretty lackluster. Pros: The book presents an entertaining mystery that is fun to follow along with.
