Not him, but nothing really, I'm just mad because it knocked year 3 out of continuity

>year 3
literally who
>>78213571
The first post-crisis origin of Dick Grayson.
pic related is also the first appearance of Tim Drake

Is it the comic where Tim found out that Batman was Bruce Wayne?
Is it good?
>>78212187
It's pretty good. Sale's art (outside of his Joker) is fantastic, and it's a good mystery, up until the very end. The big reveal feels kind of thrown together and doesn't actually make a whole ton of sense when you retroactively apply it to the rest of the story.

I really liked that it was all very detective-ish and serious, like a noir film, but then the conclusion just tried to hard to surprise and it didn't feel like it made sense
>>78213924
No, its the arc before that, Tim is 3 years old and sees the Flying Graysons fall to their deaths. And I think its pretty good, I've storytimed it here before, but don't really have the tike to do it again right now

While we're on the subject, what issues actually have Tim discover bruce, and is that story as good as it sounds?
>>78214061
Batman 440-442 and New Titans 60-61 it's pretty good
>>78212187
It's terrible
The art is seriously some of the worst cape art ever put to print
Tim Sales joker has a mouth full of baleen
His characters all look the same, sharp long nose bags under eyes, long square face and chin.
as if the art isn't bad enough the storyline is totally barren, an empty assemblage of cliches borrowed from the godfather and other popular films (the Hannibal lecter esque Calender Man is particularly cringey) and as a sequel to Frank Millers fine work in Year One it falls particularly flat by failing to integrate the supernatural aspects of the story into the "gritty realism" of its knock-off mafia plot
>The art is seriously some of the worst cape art ever put to print
MAXIMUM PLEB

I really liked Dark Victory, but my biggest complaint against it is that it felt too similar to Long Halloween. In terms of the main plot, they're almost the same story.
this about sums it up
