30 Days of DCMK: Day 13

Favorite KID Heist: The Dark Knight Heist (Manga 27-28, Anime 20, TV Special 12)

 

 

…I like angst.  And occasionally I am truly awed by Aoyama’s ability to make creatively horrible things, and for me this heist is probably the pinnacle of that.  You still get a lot of what makes a normal heist good, including Kaito out-thinking his opponent and Nakamori’s ridiculous security measures.  Heck, you even get Aoko at a heist in riot gear, Kaito invited to a heist as a consultant (the irony, help), and a rare appearance from Hakuba.  Of course, everything goes to perdition in a handbasket in the last ten minutes of the episode, but, well, I also have a certain respect for how skillfully Aoyama set that up to hurt.
