Batman: Dark Patterns #10 is another incredible issue from a creative team that seems incapable of making a bad comic. Watters' gripping writing and Sherman and Farrell's brilliant art make for an unforgettable read. This is the perfect way to kick off the final arc of this stellar series. I don't know what to expect next, but I'm excited to find out. Read Full Review
The final case of Dark Patterns begins on a strong note. Watters constructs an intriguing start filled with mystery. Sherman and Farrell continue to find new ways of elevating the visuals. Until further notice, this is THE best Batman book at the shops! Read Full Review
Batman: Dark Patterns #10 is another strong entry that leans heavily into psychological horror, weaving past cases into a fiery climax while showcasing Hayden Sherman's boundary-pushing artistry. Though the action is sparse and the new villain still opaque, the issue's tension, creativity, and character beats set the stage for a finale that could be truly explosive. Read Full Review
A narrative lowpoint for a narratively outstanding series is still going to be a more than serviceable comic book. It's Dark Patterns how bad can it really be? However, this issue suffers from a noticeable lack of focus and forward momentum which has propelled this series so successfully all throughout this year. There is no reason to skip this issue, but better things are coming. This is not a great issue it's a functional piece of a great story. Read Full Review
This is the creative team that should be working on Detective Comics.
Old school Batman done good.
Dark Patterns #10 is off to a promising start. But I thought the same back when I’d first read issue #7, and I was honestly less than charmed by that arc. Hopefully this final arc will fare much better!!
The opening confused me as I’m not sure if this new villain is supposed to be psychic or omnipotent? Because he has 3 effigies each representing the protagonist of the previous arcs.
This series best moments for me are when Bruce is interacting with Gotham mainstays, Alfred as well as James Gordon. The scene with Alfred tending to the severe injuries Bruce sustained during the previous arc, and Alfred's inner monologue was a pleasure to read.
The new villain is quite creepy, but much about him is left a more
