Special mention should also be made of Eduardo Risso's work in the Wonder Woman-centric Dark Knight Universe mini-comic. Risso's art might just be the most striking of any artist to contribute to this series so far. He provides a stunning depiction of Miller's Spartan warrior-style Wonder Woman and her Paradise Island surroundings. Risso's style is supremely elegant, boasting plenty of vitality but no wasted lines. It's a shame his work has to be shrunk down into the mini-comic format, but hopefully the eventual trade paperback collection will rectify that.
Outside of the Wonder Woman mini-comic (which provides more insight into the strained relationship between Diana and the increasingly willful Lara), this issue splits ts focus between Carrie Kelly's interrogation and Ray Palmer's attempts to help restore the Kandorians to their rightful size. Again, by the end of this issue readers should have a better idea of what the overarching conflict entails and what the "Master Race" actually is. Even though Carrie plays a more active role this time, this issue really hammers home the notion that the Dark Knight Saga has really become a Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman tale rather than simply a story of an older Bruce Wayne. Whether this is for the good of the franchise remains to be seen, but at least Miller and Brian Azzarello can't be faulted for their ambition with this conflict.
That said, the highlight of the script here involves the characters who have been at the forefront of the Dark Knight universe from the beginning. Azzarello scripts a very poignant scene as Carrie relates the painful final days of Bruce Wayne's life and the passing of the Batman mantle from mentor to pupil. The fact that the reader can't be sure Carrie is telling the truth with her story does nothing to diminish its impact. In more ways than one, the script pays close attention to the contrast between how Carrie presents herself as Batman and the real person beneath the mask. Carrie is quickly developing into a compelling lead outside the shadow of Bruce Wayne, which is a very good thing. The "Batman is arrested" subplot seems to do little to actually advance the plot, but at least it serves a purpose in terms of fleshing out both Carrie and Commissioner Yindel.
