Batman: The Ultimate Evil by Andrew Vachss is a dark and intense story where Batman tracks down and destroys a gang of human traffickers profiting from the illegal sex trade, specifically those involved in pedophilia. The book is grounded in reality, with real-world connotations and a short academic paper attached as an appendix, addressing the issue of real crimes. The author develops the plot at a fast pace, creating moments of genuine tension and heartache, as readers root for Batman to defeat the villains.
The novel delves into the serious subject of child abuse and exploitation, delivering a message that these injustices must be fought by society and individuals. Despite the dark theme, the book is excellently written, engaging readers with a well-executed climax and familiar Batman features like prowess in combat and psychological darkness, making it a compelling read for adult audiences.
