I thought this was the only worthy follow-up to the original. DK2 was just an ugly piece of cash-in crap. I don't even know what ASBAR was--except the Yellow issue, that wasn't bad, but the rest, SO bad. DK3 is not all bad, not all good. This, however, is the first one that actually has any reason to exist; it's a story worth telling. And i like the contrast of this middle Batman to both the Goddamn Batman and the Brian Dennehy Batman. He's more sober, more reflective, more responsible. You can see this guy simply saying from the guilt, after Jason's death, fuck it, give up, just relax and wait to die. The script is surprisingly sensitive.

I also like the art and the coloring. This is some of Romita's best work. I think this is good.
