![]() ![]() ![]() It's been a while since we've had a meaty Two-Face story Peter Tomasi's Batman and Robin Vol. And despite all of this, My Own Worst Enemy's themes are hopeful ones those who follow Snyder to All-Star after his pantheon of "Gotham Is" Batman stories will certainly find those themes continued. And Snyder's All-Star is far from toned down this is not a Batman cruel by any means, but mouthier than we're used to and with little patience for his enemies. What this most recent All-Star is, in a certain respect, is a return to Scott Snyder, horror writer, which was not wholly absent in Snyder's mainstream Batman title but was surely toned down a little. ![]() But the sheer volume of stabbings, torture, and other misdeeds surprised me, until I recalled that this all started once upon a time with Snyder's Batman: Black Mirror, which came with its own share of blood and dismemberment. Clearly All-Star marks a Scott Snyder unrestrained, between the amount of pseudo-cursing, his merciless Batman reminiscent even of Frank Miller's All-Star Batman, and getting his Batman back in the cornfields a la Snyder's Batman: Zero Year. 1: My Own Worst Enemy was its unexpected level of violence. One thing that struck me about All-Star Batman Vol. ![]()
