The current volume of Batman has been one of DC's best monthly titles since it debuted back in spring 2016. Between writer Tom King's deeply introspective approach to the Dark Knight and a rotating art team featuring some of the very best in the business, there's a lot to love about the series. Unfortunately, it's also a comic that can frustrate as often as enthrall readers, particularly those who follow it monthly rather than waiting for the trade paperback collections. The series' current story arc, "Knightmares," is proving to be an especially uncomfortable reminder of that fact.
Warning: spoilers for Batman ahead!
Currently, the series is exploring the fallout of Batman #50 and the revelation that Bane is quietly manipulating Bruce's life from behind the scenes. In recent months, we've seen Bane orchestrate the collapse of Batman's engagement to Catwoman, cause him to wrongfully target Mister Freeze for the murders of three women, nearly kill Nightwing and manipulate Batman into turning on Commissioner Gordon. Bane's latest master stroke came at the end of Batman #60, where Bruce was confronted by a man who appears to be Thomas Wayne of the Flashpoint universe.
