Of course, there’s also personal drama here and Commissioner Gordon’s family history takes center stage in an engrossing tale of love, madness and crime. In Batman Noir: The Black Mirror, an old and powerful evil rises – a story that would seed the New52 version of the Batman monthly comic book, also written by Snyder. But this is still Gotham City – and Gotham has a way of turning a man dark. Of course, he’s still Dick Grayson, the shorter, light-hearted, altogether friendlier hero. He’s learning what it’s like to wear the cape and cowl, battling criminals, corresponding with the GCPD and unraveling the most difficult of mysteries.

It’s specifically an artful intent – a new way of looking at a piece of work with new eyes.
