I thought so!
It actually added another dimension to the story that I didn't know about - certain details. The aspect of the son's involvement in the genesis.

It's quite well done!
I've got a friend who collects Batman comic books and thought it was well done. He says the graphics didn't embellish the Art-Deco design into it as well as Batman graphic novels. Batman's city is "Gotham" which is a very Art-Deco city; the friend comment...
Agreed!
A lot of small minor details that I didn't know about. Assuming those details are true and not fiction.
