RETRO HUNDRED WORD HIT #8 - BATMAN - IN DARKEST NIGHT
Batman: In Darkest Night by Mike W. Barr & Jerry Bingham
The hugely underrated 80s team of Mike Barr & Jerry Bingham bring you an Elseworlds tale where Bruce Wayne is chosen to inherit the ring of a dying Green Lantern.
Summoned to OA the Guardians demand that Bruce bring Sinestro in for justice. They clash, Sinestro escapes to Qward and then returns to Earth and kills Commissioner Gordon.
Further clashes with Bruce ensue, there’s a brief appearance of other Lanternised-heroes before a final showdown with Sinestro who manages to escape justice once again.
The art is fantastic, but the story ends rather abruptly lining up a sequel that never was?
Rating 7 out of 10.
