BATMAN: BLACK AND WHITE
The Monochrome Knight Returns
If you have to keep telling people who you are, well…
ISSUES 1-5 If there’s one superhero who’s just as effective in moody black and white as he is in vibrant colour, it’s Batman. DC has proved this multiple times since its first Batman: Black and White anthology back in 1996, and now it has let a new set of top-tier writers and artists loose on Gotham’s moody, noir-ish streets.
This fourth volume of the series takes the same approach as the previous three, featuring self-contained, mostly out-ofcontinuity stories, each by a separate creative team (or a single writer/artist). Five instalments into this six-issue miniseries, the result has been a mixed but fascinating selection of tales, with some strong highlights and eye-catching visuals.
