Batman Dark Victory
A sequel to Long Halloween, we see a lot of the unfinished threads fully explored. The “crazies” truly take control of crime in Gotham in this story and establish the status quo. Getting to see a young Dick Grayson settle grow into his role was also amazing.
9/10
Batman The Long Halloween
What can I say about this that hasn’t already been said? Tim Sale and Jeph Loeb at their finest. The art is cartoonish but gritty, perfectly balanced The origin of Two Face, and truly shows how Batman goes from fighting gangs and mobs to the crazier side of Gotham. 10/10
Batman The Knight
A much needed telling of what Bruce did during his time training, covering every aspect of what defined Batman. It shows us how impatient a young Bruce is and slowly shapes and changes him into the Dark Knight. Zdarsky’s writing is great and Giandomenico’s art is perfect.
8/10
Batman the Man who Laughs
A retelling of the first meeting of Batman and Joker it does a great job articulating that Gotham was and still is never ready for the Joker.The cat and mouse nature of Batman and Joker never gets old and to see it established is one to remember.Ed Brubaker kills it
8/10
Batman Year One
No wonder this is the top of everyone’s Batman lists, perfectly shows how Bruce and Jim Gordon begin their crusade against crime in Gotham. Frank Miller understands the characters and his craft is perfected. David Mazzucheli’s art really captures the grit of Batman entirely. 10/10
More for me than anything but my reviews of comic stories I’ve read. Single post reviews with my own immediate feeling for a score. Starting with the Batman stories I’ve read so far.
Starting to collect comics and read comics again is such a delight. I’m excited to go to my local comic book store and pick up an issue. Maybe I’ll start posting the comics I’m reading with a little blurb about them … 🤔🤔🤔
