Of course I only really know it from Batman Year 100, but didn’t care for the art in that book at all, cared for the story even less, too muddled, too many of questions raised were never answered. Looking online I see some stuff that appeals more to me, so maybe I haven’t given the guy a fair shake, even looking back at Batman Year 100, it was the storytelling that failed for me more than the art, though I do think he goes too far with distorting the form in that book. Oh well just something more to kick around, like I don’t spend too much money already.
