the black mirror has little to do with the majority of the story. this is a VERY dark batman story, which is somewhat surprising seeing as how it takes place during Dick Grayson's time under the cowl. but if you're looking for a good mystery story and want some more Gordon family history then this story is for you

This is my favorite Batman comic. It has incredible dark elements that Snyder explores to force the reader to face the darker elements of humanity and themselves. It also delves into the concept of family and what we are, and aren't, willing to do for our families (adopted or real) and how that drives or destroys us. The artwork is also beautiful, if you can call some of the things in this comic "beautiful." Truly, I've read the Dark Knight Returns, Year One, The Killing Joke, Year One, etc., but only this comic made me disturbed for hours after reading.
