Batman : The Cult. An appreciation

[AnthonyO'Brien]

This may not be the greatest batman story to some but I liked it. I wonder if maybe the price of the prestige format made fans a bit critical of it. The Monster truck batmobile was a bit much! I love Bernie's art and Deacon Blackfire broke Batsy long before Bane ever did. Definitely one of Batman's more UNDER-rated villians.

YOUR thought and opinions on this?

Read it last year. Liked it though preferring the first half to the second. Bats mentally gone.

I think it's the only good Batman story Jim Starlin ever wrote.

I like it a lot, and is one of my favorite Batman stories (though I have a lot of favorites Batman stories hahaha). I think alongside Ten night of the Beast, it's some of Starlin's finest writing with the character. Both are much better than Death in the Family, which I think has some cool moments, but overall is an average story.

I found The Cult to be unintentionally hilarious.

It wasn't Batman's finest hour, but it might have been Jason Todd's. Jason/Robin seemed to emerge the hero of this story.

Definitely.
One of the cases in which you see how Robin actually helps Batman to be himself. And damn if he wasn't a brave kid.
