Dark Knight v. Batman Chronicles

When I begun to read the Dark Knight I was confused about what was going on because there was so much going visually as well as in the text. I also found myself comparing it to the Fox show Gotham that is based off of how Batman came to be. The Dark Knight relates more towards the show because of the darkness in the graphics and there being a clear storyline versus in the Batman Chronicles that starts off with action first before we get the storyline.

The graphics in the Dark Knight are also simply beautiful in relation to detail. The color palette is so vivid and dark depending on the page unlike the Batman Chronicles the color palette is primary and complementary colors. In the Dark Knight the page itself is either all light or all dark while in the Batman Chronicles  the darkness and lightness varies per panel that is not visually pleasing to the eye. The simplicity in the text however makes the transition between panels easier to read.
