A NEW YORK TIMES #1 Bestseller For years, Batman and Commissioner Gordon have stared into the unyielding black abyss that is Gotham City. Time after time, they’ve saved their beloved city from itself, not allowing it to be swallowed by a pit of violence and corruption. But even after a crime-fighting lifetime of confronting what they thought was the worst humanity had to offer, an even darker and more dangerous evil pushes Batman and Gordon to their limits. As the conflict comes closer to its resolution, they find that the truth behind this murderous crime spree isn’t just careening toward their doorstep—it has in fact emerged from it. Can two of Gotham’s proudest protectors bring justice to this malevolent threat in Commissioner Gordon’s most personal battle to date? Eisner Award-winning writer Scott Snyder launches into comics superstardom with his #1 New York Times best-selling debut work on the Dark Knight. This volume collects Detective Comics #871-881.

Anders als die IMHO enttäuschenden Batman & Robin / Return of Bruce Wayne Bücher von Grant Morrisson, sind die Batman Bücher von Scott Snyder genau auf meiner Wellenlänge (jup, Fanboy hier).
Der interessanteste Teil des Buches ist eigentlich nicht die titel-gebende Black Mirror Geschichte, die wird meines Erachtens nicht mal zufriedenstellend aufgelöst, sondern die Skeleton Cases / Skeleton Key Storyline um Jimmy Gordon, der soziopathische Sohn von Comissioner Gordon.
Diese unaufgeregte Erzählweise, die so ganz plötzlich in einem (zugegebenermaßen erwartetem Twist) eskaliert, zeigt genau das, was mich an guten Batman Büchern fasziniert. Interessante Villains die unseren Detective herausfordern.
Was mir nicht so ganz gefällt ist das Artwork. Leider nicht sehr detailliert, weicht es doch sehr vom gewohnten Stil ab. Erinnert mich mehr an American Vampire, wo es auch passender ist. Vielleicht bin ich auch einfach nur Greg Capullo verwöhnt, der seit dem DCnU die Batman Reihe zeichnet.
Alles in allem - sehr lesenswert.
