10 Reasons Why New 52 Batman Was The Best Ever

10. The Consistent Creative Team

Think how rare it is for one writer and one artist, each so well suited for the other, to have so much uninterrupted time to explore a single character. After the final issue's release later this month, the “Batman” series as we know it will have lasted for 52 issues (#0 to #51). 

In a comic landscape where writers usually have short runs on characters, and fill-in art is a fact of life, the sheer consistency of this series makes it stand apart.

In contrast to other contemporary series, “Batman” seems elemental and hard as a diamond. It’s like it has its own gravitational pull, a unique weightiness. Out of 52 issues over five years, Greg Capullo drew 47 and Scott Snyder wrote them all. That is a thing of rare beauty in this world.
