### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Best work of fiction I've read in a while
  

*by L***D on Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2014*

This was an exceptionally good book. It had a powerful, heartless antagonist who seemed virtually unbeatable through most of the book. The Batman (Bruce Wayne) seemed to old and compassionate for this youthful assassin. The storyline was excellent. In many ways it was the traditional David vs. Goliath battle, with David, Batman, being outgunned physically. What our hero lacked in physical attributes was balanced by having a righteous cause to take down one who threatened millions of innocent lives. I enjoyed the diversity of characters and a hero who wasn't really concerned about being the typical hero but his main concern was to protect the innocent.I also apprecitated that the language wasn't loaded with 3 and 4 letter words.

    More of a 4.5 to be exact, but still...
  

*by R***2 on Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2012*

I enjoyed how the novel gave first-person detail of what the characters were thinking and feeling during particular scenes. I have seen the film twice before I finished the novel. When I watched it a 3rd time, it helped give a greater scope of the plot, events and especially the characters.Especially since I didn't catch of all the dialogue in the film, the novel helped. I knew the Joker was not going to be mentioned in the film, but he didn't have to be because of his outcome in The Dark Knight film: He is stopped by Batman in the finale where he says Joker belongs in a padded cell (Arkham Asylum) to which a SWAT team arrests the Joker. In the Dark Knight Rises, Bane releases prisoners from Blackgate Prison, which is located on the main Gotham island where this story takes place, so Arkham has to be on a different island (The Narrows, I think).Greg Cox's langauge tends to switch tones, making it feel like it was two writers were in charge of the novelization. One is high school-direct, the other is flowery-college, but it got the job done.There are minor differences in some of the actions compared to how they actually unfold in the film. I assume this has to do with the fact that he did not see the film as he was finishing this project. Maybe it's based on the screenplay which would not contain the changes made during film's principal-photography. Who knows, maybe these minute differences work better for a novel then to a film.This is why I give it a 4.5, but I enjoyed it overall. When people read this book or watch the Blu-Ray with subtitles, they'll understand the story a whole lot better and will enjoy the film a lot more than they do now, I believe.

    Sticking to the script.
  

*by G***. on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2012*

I have a love-and-hate relationship with movie novelizations.  There is just one notable case where I loved the book more than the movie (The Phantom Menace, by Terry Brooks), but generally, movies are better as, well, movies.I've read all three of the official novelizations.  Authorial styles are largely personal preferences, of course.  For myself, I preferred Greg Cox's unornamented, true-to-script style better than Dennis O'Neil's more fantastical approach, which, while presenting some interesting facets of the characters, painted those in such black-and-white contrast as to pass over the mark.  That's not to say I absolutely loved Greg's particular novelization's approach, which IS at times guilty of softening the characters (particularly Bruce) overmuch.  But the lines in the movie make more sense with the expansions given in the book, so overall, I found it a good movie companion.  Especially given, you know, Nolan never does a director's cut of his movies.Bottom line: if you're looking for a movie companion that offers a longer, more expanded script, this book works.  If you're looking for more insights or slightly different perspective, this book won't be of much interest.
