[rating: 5/5] DISCUSSION DARK NIGHT: A TRUE BATMAN STORY Writer: Paul Dini Artist: Eduardo Risso Publisher: DC Comics/Vertigo Cover Price: $9.99 (Digital) Walking home one evening, Dini was jumped and viciously beaten. With several broken bones and a shattered face, Dini experienced an arduous recovery process, hampered by the imagined antics of the villains he was writing for television, including the Joker, Harley Quinn, and the Penguin. But despite how bleak his circumstances were, or perhaps because of it, Dini also always imagined the Batman at his side, constantly chivvying him along during his darkest moments. While most know the Caped Crusader as the all-abiding icon of justice and authority, in this surprising story, we see Batman in a new light—not as the dark avenger, but the savior who helped a discouraged man recover mentally from a brutal attack that left him unable to face the world.

Then came the Flashpoint…the Convergence…and their world was wiped from reality, replaced with the New 52 worlds that make up the Multiverse. Now Lois and Clark, as well as their young son, Jonathan, have been transported to an Earth much like the one they left behind, yet radically different. An Earth with familiar heroes, familiar faces, familiar names, but entirely different ages and attitudes. An Earth with its own Lois Lane, its own Clark Kent—its own Superman. An Earth where Superman is distrusted—and where two Supermen could cause a disaster. For years they’ve stayed below the radar, with Clark fighting evil under the cover of darkness and Lois crusading against crime as an anonymous journalist. But now all their secrets are about to be exposed to a world far harsher than the one they left behind—and Jonathan is caught in the crossfire. Now only one question remains: Has the time come for the original Man of Tomorrow to reveal himself? CLOSE Contact us at [email protected]

However, during cross-examination, Barnes is able to get Emily to claim at least partial responsibility for Charlie's death. Mason delivers a passionate closing statement blaming Barnes for attacking Emily's character instead of pursuing the truth. After five days of deliberation, the jury becomes deadlocked, and the judge declares a mistrial; it is revealed that Strickland paid off one of the jurors, though that juror then reveals two other jurors legitimately voted not guilty. Meanwhile, Drake resigns from the police force, Strickland leaves Mason to work for Burger, Alice disappears, and Holcomb has Ennis killed. Emily adopts the baby that Birdy found, and joins Birdy's new traveling miracle-based church. Mason moves into Jonathan's office, taking on Street as his secretary (and future partner) and Drake as his lead detective. Mason finds Alice working as a waitress, and they bond over their loneliness.
