Coming out in 1992, Night Cries is a bit of a contradiction in terms. It's something of a Very Special Episode of Batman dealing with child abuse, with the main plot revolving around a serial killer attacking those who harm children. So it's trying to deal with a very heavy subject matter, but in a way that's still appropriate for children. Oh, and still a gripping Batman adventure et al et al. I think it pulls it off--coming across as tasteful with its bleak material, but without softpedaling what it's talking about. You be the judge.
