Following the triumphantly epic 50th issue, Batman Confidential continues to be a wonderful piece of insight into the past of Bruce Wayne. Sure, a lot of the arcs have been dreadful, but we’re into the second part of this exploration of Bruce’s methods, and it’s already one of the best stories this book has contained. Marc Guggenheim is truly an accomplished writer; his Batman and Bruce Wayne are two very different beasts, each with their own sense of unity. The art by Jerry Bingham, too, is fantastic; the Batman sequences show off wonderfully scratchy pencils, while the Bruce Wayne sequences are intricate paintings. Both work perfectly to create a Batman story that is both compelling and fun; well worth a look.

Story: 4 - Very Good
Art: 5 - Excellent
