Batman: Full Circle

     Just picked up an old copy of Batman: Full Circle by Mike W. Barr.  It built off of Batman: Year Two, but the art didn't involve Todd McFarlane, so I didn't hate it. It takes place some where between year 3 and 5 of Batman's career, but just like it's predecessor Year Two, Full Circle clashes with the continuity of comics before, and since. And now with the New 52 heroes being about 5years old, continuity has flown out the peaching window. (Maybe fruits aren't the best way to switch out expletives) I honestly like the story and how it brings more consequences from the twist conclusion of Year Two, but there might just be too many continuity issues to be able to fit into the canon, try as I may to make it fit properly. The continuity issue that ruins it for me is a conflict with Dark Victory when Batman states he still hasn't caught his parent's killer. Batman meeting Joe Chill is one of the central points of both Year Two and Full Circle. I like Full Circle, but it doesn't hold a candle to Dark Victory. 7.5/10
