review 1: Dark Knight Vs. White Knight is an interesting comic book as it has three stories in one book. The first story has Batman (Dick Grayson) and Robin (Damian Wayne) fighting the Absence. The Absence is a great villain, and she has not only Batman and Robin thinking but also the reader. She has the reader believe she'll do one thing when she does another. The next story is of the White Knight, who made me pity him. The third story has Jason Todd in it, and I loved reading about Jason Todd. The one thing I hated about this book was that the artists switch halfway through the story. The art change was obvious and pulled the reader away from the story plot.
review 2: This Bat-compendium was still struggling to find its footing following the return of Bruce Wayne. In t... morehis collection, the stories work their way up from awful to ok to good. The initial arc brings in an ex-flame of Wayne's, who has somehow survived a gaping hole in head. This self-styled Absence is lacking in both plausibility and substance; a true flop that most fans will want to forget. Our second arc brings in a killer targeting the family members of Arkham inmates. As the suicide-inducing White Knight, the potential for excellence is in the opening chapter. Sadly, the progression of the tale leaves us with a broken character and a story that fails to live up to its premise. The volume concludes with an arc that brings back Jason Todd. Judd Winick returns to the chracter he wrote so well, giving us a reprieve from Morrison's attempts to twist the character into laughable villany. Instead, Winick returns the shrewd, calculating, and misguided Jason that worked so well in the initial Red Hood arc. Yet the DCnU would soon be taking place, sending much of this volume back into the dark annals of Bat-history. less
