Daniel, Mikel Janin AND Clay Mann all drawing pages? Just one of these guys would’ve made for a stunning book but all three - I mean, just, wow. I do think they make a great couple, their banter is cute and it makes Batman’s recovery to health all the more convincing - love heals just as much as medicine.įar and away what impressed me the most was the artist line-up. I thought it was done but I liked that he revisited Bruce and Selina’s relationship to give readers a more satisfying conclusion than what we got a few books ago. I really didn’t expect but appreciated Tom King picking up the wedding storyline again. Flashpoint Batman in general was always compelling to see - out of all of the books that came from that event, Brian Azzarello/Eduardo Risso’s Batman story was easily the standout so I’m happy to see more of this viciously villainous alternate Batman. I like how Bane is largely kept off stage, only occasionally appearing to wreak havoc - his absence makes him seem more menacing.ĭamian going toe-to-toe with Flashpoint Batman was fun and I didn’t expect THAT character death even though I know it’s never going to stick. It’s interesting to see the new status quo: Hugo Strange as Commissioner Gordon, Ventriloquist as Alfred, Joker and Scarecrow as cops, even if some of it went on a bit too much (Gotham Girl sticking it to Captain Atom? I agree he’s the suck but that’s just filler - NOBODY was wondering what that dude was up to during all of this). I really enjoyed City of Bane Part 1! I’m so glad to see the quality of the series return after a shaky couple books and it’s a welcome surprise as I expected the downhill turn to continue. Should he fail, there is a terrible price to pay. With the Bat broken and the Cat nursing him back to health on their honeymoon-that-never-was, it’s up to Robin to bring the fight to Bane. Having weaponised Psycho Pirate, Bane controls the villains, as well as Gotham Girl, with Flashpoint Batman at his side. Gotham City is safe - the villains are in charge. Somebody is going to have to explain what the hell happened here because I'm just not.what?!
I probably made are really stupid squee-sigh sound when this panel popped up. I really don't care what King does as long as he keeps this couple together. I love (and I can't stress this enough!) the back and forth between Batman and Catwoman. We're back to Selina & Bruce doing their thing and it's better with them together.īonus: none of the weird hallucinogenic sing-song issues with voice-overs of obscure folktales. When did Gotham Girl turn evil and team up with Thomas Wayne? And when did Bane & Bat-Dad take over Gotham?īut I don't even care. I swear, I've kept up with this title, but I guess I didn't understand what was real and what was just inside of Bruce's fever dreamin head. This was fun to read and (mostly) I understood everything that was happening.
