Tom King is one of the hottest names in the biz right now. Having come off a stellar run on The Vision and having embarked one just as good with Batman, the writer is seemingly unable to do any wrong.

Another marquee success of DC Rebirth, King's Batman is everything there is to love about the character. Much like the new bat-suit the character sports (that combines both old and modern bat-symbols), Rebirth's Dark Knight combines the best of both bat-worlds, presenting a serious and dark take on the character that is at once refreshing and not, thankfully, all that glum.

The series continues the fine run of form it established in 2016, and undoubtedly the highlight has to be the Elmer Fudd special (we're not joking). There, King reimagined the classic Looney Tunes character as a villain dead-set on starting up an open season against the Caped Crusader. And yes, it was amazing.
