Detective Comics #1
Batman vs. The Joker. Could this series have started any other way? Heck no! It was a decent story. Most of the pages were fight scenes. Batman is not a super martial artist in this, which I like. He's still tough in a fight, but the Joker comes quite close to defeating him.
The cops and the Mayor are after Batman, considering him a rogue vigilante. Chief Gordon is still his friend, and the bat signal is used.
The art was a mix. I liked everything except the new Batman design. It looks like Bruce Wayne has invested heavily in steroids. Not a good look, at all.
Overall, a good issue. I will buy the graphic novel when it gets published. It's not worth a subscription, to me.

I read it, was ok not the amazing reboot I was expecting though.
Yeah. I liked it, but it wasn't as good as I had hoped for. I'm thinking once the whole story for the graphic novel is done, though it will be really good. It is leading to a really dark, disturbing story, which the Batman writers are usually great at. I'd say more, but I'm avoiding spoilers.
