Batman: Detective Comics Vol. 1: Gotham Nocturne: Overture | 
pickCaptivating. Forget Batman Haunted Knight, if you want a quality spooky Batman graphic novel do this one! Cranky creaky Bruce, still earnest, still invested, retired Gordon, chipper guest spot by Nightwing, Talia as indomitable as ever, Harvey just as tragic as ever (with a little phantom of the opera motif as a bonus), on point characterization. Another win for Ram V. And the art, just, WOW. 😍 Eagerly anticipating the next volume!
My eyes feel so well fed.🤩
[Did that sound weird? I'm a little sleep deprived...🫠]
Something about the gold and the texture and the angle of the arms. It's giving me 'Gotham does Klimt'. Does that make sense to anyone else? 🥴
Gotta say, it's not usually the writing in a graphic novel that captures my attention. Really digging Ram V's way with words.
He does denial in style!
Very mature, Bruce. 🙄
Magnificent, and ominous. Certainly an art style that suits the Bat.
Cranky/creaky but still ass-kicking 'mature' "old man" Bruce is my favourite Bruce Wayne. ?
