Shaun Stanley's Reviews > Batman, Vol. 4: Dark Prisons

Batman Vol. 4 Dark Prisons collects issues 145-152 of the DC Comics series written by Chip Zdarsky, Toni Howard, and Kelly Thompson with art by Jorge Jiménez, Michele Bandini, Miguel Mendonça, Steve Lieber, Marianna Ignazzi, and Mattia De Iulis.

Bruce reconnects with the Batfamily to end the battle with Zur En Arrh and Failsafe. Fallout from the Failsafe storyline leads to tie-ins with the Absolute Power event.

After a rocky third act to the Failsafe storyline and the Catwoman/Batman War mini-event, Dark Prisons ends on a strong note which directly leads to tie-ins to Absolute Power. I really enjoyed the epilogue issues of Failsafe that saw Bruce deciding on a new home as part of his outlook on life. I’m still always blown away by Jorge Jiménez’s stunning art.
