This is both one of the most exciting and creepiest books I've read in a while. Tony S. Daniel has got his characters down. They act and speak like I expect them to. I can't wait to read more.
Detective seems to be holding true to its name in that Batman actually went and did some detecting. I may be only mentioned in passing but it is part of his musings as he tracks down the Joker.
And the Joker! The Batman/Joker rivalry is the classic story for Batman. Daniel certainly builds on what people expect after having seen The Dark Knight. He's creepy and insane with just the right amount of cunning to make him dangerous.
Things I liked: Detective is about the detectives. Both Batman and Commissioner Gordon feature in this book.
Things I didn't like: I'm not a big fan of Daniel's art. I love his story telling, I like how he puts the panels together but the art itself seems rushed. Ryan Winn's inks on this help a bit, but not my favourite artist.
