Batman is back in this new volume of consisting of the issues 1-9: Knight Terrors, A Rush of Blood, Catch Me If You Can, Welcome to the Jungle, Handful of Dust, Run Rabbit Run, The Final Curtain, The Madness, and I Can No Longer Be Broken.
A mysterious woman dressed as a white rabbit enters into the Arkham injects the inmates with a special venom. An explosion causes chaos inside Arkham. Batman rushes inside, afraid that his old enemy Two-Face has escaped, but to his surprise, Two-Face is very much alive. The venom injected into him has caused him to take on a hulk like appearance and he now refers to himself as One-Face.
Through out the new series, Batman faces off with Clayface, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Deathstroke, Mad Hater, and Bane. He also allies with other superheroes like Robin, Batwoman, Batgirl, Nightwing, Black Canary, Katana, Starling, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Red Robin and Superman.
The new Dark Knight series is less kid friendly and more graphic, especially in the illustrations of the villains. This works effectively as it makes the characters less cartoon-like and more realistic. It was nice seeing the many cameos from the DC comic book world. I would still like to know more about the White Rabbit. Maybe future issues will involve her more. Overall, I like the new art and story direction for Batman: The Dark Knight!
Note - I received an ARC from DC Comics and edelweiss.

The New 52 still has me feeling a little disappointed. Some of the character revamps are just boring and uninteresting (keep in mind I've been reading DC for over 15 years). What I've read of Batman and The Court of Owls was rather nice. It seemed to fit into Batman well without changing much. This book, Dark Knight, seems to play a little more into the changes of the New 52. The artwork is very nice in this book. However, the storytelling is a little whimsical, which I don't like for Batman. Also, it seems like the authors wanted throw as many villains in as possible, even there was no real fit for them in the plot. A great example is Deathstroke. About halfway through, Batman is flying his bat-plane and out of nowhere Deathstroke shows up, plunges a sword through the cockpit, gets punched off and is never seen again. He was literally in the story for only a few panels, no lasting impact on the story. Also, the playability of Bane in the plot is weak. Bane seems to be oversimplified. This would have been a much better tale if Jenkins/Finch would have just focused on one or two main villains.
