kino-fada.fr Hmm, I guess Detective Comics has basically become the Outsiders now, just with Bat vigilantes Batman discovers someone is watching Batwoman, Red Robin, Spoiler, Orphan, and Clayface and decides to turn them into a team to protect themselves Yeah, a bit of a flimsy premise, but just get past it, because the book is good Eddy Burrows and Alvaro Martinez provide fantastic artwork I love how dynamic it is and we constantly see Bat vigilantes zipping and tumbling through the Gotham skyline Hmm, I guess Detective Comics has basically become the Outsiders now, just with Bat vigilantes

view spoiler The idea that the government realizes how much of a badass Batman is and decides to mimic him is genius and something actually original to bring to Batman Having Colonel Kane in charge of this group makes sense, but he ventures into Col Kurtz territory by the end of the book It s dumb that he would for no reason think the League of Shadows was in Gotham and hiding as regular citizens, so let s go kill Ameri...Mixed feelings, but better than Batman What I like about James Tynion IV s Detective Comics is that it s layered King s Batman is one dimensional, whereas here there s nuance, mystery, and fun That said, it s not as good as it should be I m not a big team up fan Doesn t do much for me And this team isn t my favorite I appreciate Batwoman and the depth and sentimentality Tynion brings to her character But she s sort of clich d And the others Meh Even Red Robin, whom I usually like, Mixed feelings, but better than Batman What I like about James Tynion IV s Detective

brain I ll stop now Verily Detective Comics Rebirth takes the title back to its original issue numbering, which is pure fan service to the NEEEEERRRRRRDDDSSSS who care about that sort of thing, as well as further underlining the New 52 s death The relaunched title does veer away from tradition though in turning Oh Rebirth, Rebirth, Rebirth, why art thou so pants Fie my disappointment, Detective

turning Detective Comics from a less superhero y Batman solo book with an emphasis on sleuthing into a Bat family team book where Batman is an incidental background character It s not a change for the better Motivation and set up are poorly written throughout Batman wants to unite the various Gotham vigilantes into a group why and why now And what aren t they achieving ...My one and only complaint about this beautiful, fantastic, kick ass trade is that they didn t give us the fight scene where Cass takes down a room of Batmen That kinda bummed me out but the rest of this was so well done that I give it a pass The premise of this book is so freaking awesome Batman notices drones around Gotham and decides to put a team together He gathers Batwoman to help him lead and for other reasons and recruits the people he knows are good but needtraining to work My one and only complaint about this beautiful, fantastic, kick ass trade is that they didn t give us the fight scene where Cass takes

reading it that I couldn t care less Hell yes I enjoyed so much about the first Rebirth volume of Detective Comics that i ve found myself perusing it again and again I loved James Tynion IV s work on Talon and thought he wrote the best issues of Batman Eternal, so I had high hopes for this one and he exceeded my expectations.By far my favourite thing about the book is that, for the first time since Williams and Blackman left Is Rise of the Batmen somewhat flawed Yes.Did I have such a good time reading it that I couldn t care less Hell yes I enjoyed so much about the first Rebirth volume of

treated as a peer alongside Batman and their exchanges throughout this volume were superb.In fact, the interactions between this new team are a constant highlight Despite the varied cast the book is an accessible jumping on point and the opening issues contain several great moments for older readers, too Two of my favourite parts were seeing Clayface turn over a...In the misleadingly titled Rise of the Batmen misleading because two of the Batmen are, in fact, women, suggesting that perhaps it should have been Rise of the Batpeople , Batman and some young friends bake gingerbread men or is that people and compare notes on the best grocery stores in Gotham No, I m totally kidding They actually bake gingerbread animals On balance, this is fine nothing , nothing less Not sure I ll be plunging any deeper into the series absent someone telling In the misleadingly titled Rise of the Batmen misleading because two of the Batmen are, in fact, women, suggesting that perhaps it should

Damn, this one s actually really good I m upgrading my rating from three to four solid stars, and I can safely say now, almost two years after I first read it, that I was wrong about there being too many characters I learned muchabout the DC universe and its characters since then, so that helped, but just in general I feel like Tynion is actually juggling everybody really well in this volume Yeah, the plot is still over the top at times, going unnecessarily Update after a 2018 re read Damn, this one s actually really good I m upgrading my rating from three to four solid stars, and I can

overwritten parts are still kinda a...Another double crossing plot device, ya don t say I m done with the double crossing, enough Seriously if you re reading any of these rebirth volumes and you see a family member or close friend show up, it s them, they did it There s no mystery and it s now in every rebirth volume, what is going on Overall i didn t like this one at all, thought the story was boring, the artwork is pretty good and it carries the story it s about the only decent thing about this volume It ends on a cliffhanger Another double crossing plot device, ya don t say I m done with the double crossing, enough Seriously if you re reading any of th...The last time I got hooked into Detective Comics was from reading The Black Mirror written by Scott Snyder, who would go on to work on the main Batman title with artist Greg Capullo and currently on All Star Batman Having ignored the entirety of the title throughout The New 52, I took an interest with the biweekly Detective Comics for DC s Rebirth initiative, which not only restores the classic numbering with issue 934, it is being written by James Tynion IV known for his work on the Batman The last time I got hooked into

highlights probably being Bat women and Red Robin Someone is hunting them, Batman included, and Bruce thinks it s time to create a team A badass fighting team that includes himself, Red Robin,
