pickBatman never uses a gun. He never kills. But one day an imposter dressed as the dark vigilante murders criminals in cold blood and on live television. Bruce scrambles to clear his name as the GCPD close in on him. A taut and gritty tale set in a grounded Gotham where shadows cloud every motive and trust is a rare commodity. Highly recommended!
pick@vivastory described this as a spiritual successor to Matt Reeves' new Batman movie, and that is quite accurate. This is less a superhero, more a man with some serious issues waging a one man war on crime. I always appreciate a story featuring Leslie Thompson. The imposter reveal was a bit predictable, but it didn't impact my enjoyment of a gritty story with equally gritty and excellent art.
pickI have read a few of the DC Black Label volumes & this is one of the best I've read in awhile. Published last year this feels like it very much takes place in the same universe as Matt Reeves' film, although there are throwbacks to previous movie installments sprinkled throughout. Batman is out of favor with the GCPD & is being actively pursued after footage surfaces of who they think is the Batman killing criminals. The real star of the gn 👇
pickSo this is a brand new Black Label comic that DC released to cash in on the hype for Matt Reeves‘s The Batman, and damn if it didn‘t surpass it! 😍 This was easily the best comic I‘ve read in quite some time. The story was mature (and definitely not for kids) and the artwork was mostly fantastic. So glad I picked this up! If you‘ve seen the movie and want something in a similar vein give this a go!
