YMMV / Batman: The Black Mirror

• Complete Monster: James Gordon, Jr. is at his worst here. James Jr. is the son of Commissioner James Gordon, and distinguishes himself from his heroic relatives in the extreme. Ever since his youth, James Jr. was a vicious Serial Killer, always hoping the next person would pick on him so it would give him an excuse to torture and kill them. In one instance, he cruelly slashed a woman's face for calling him Four-Eyes years prior. In another, he gruesomely dismembered a man for stealing his glasses a decade prior. James Jr. proceeded to torture his mother with the Joker's fear toxin; tortured his sister Barbara psychologically and physically, driving a pair of knives into her paralyzed legs; and revealed his master plan to destroy the morality of Gotham's children by injecting their food supply with a drug to destroy empathy, which he views as a weakness.
• First Installment Wins: Even though Snyder's work on the main Batman series holds a larger profile, more than a few people still hold this as his best work on a Batman book.
