Batman #23

There are certain moments in Batman's origin that work best without words.  Snyder knows which ones those are.

Things I liked: contrasting Bruce's beat down by the Red Hood gang with his discovery of the Batcave as a boy.  The lack of dialogue adds nicely to that.

Things I didn't like: tying the Joker to the death of the Waynes.  Even just a little.  I agree with the Red Hood - the tragedy of Martha and Thomas is that it was completely random.

The back up story was also very good.  Batman has a line that he doesn't cross and I think that's to be respected.
