Batman and son by Morrison, Grant.

★☆☆☆☆

Reviewed by Robert N on Jun 5, 2017

Tagged: Comics and Graphic Novels

Muddled, choppy and disjointed, with a short story thrown in the middle for no discernible reason.

An interesting anthology of loosely related tales taking place during the Earthquake storyline from a decade ago.

Batman Noir : Eduardo Risso, the deluxe edition by Risso, Eduardo.

★★★☆☆

Reviewed by Robert N on Jun 5, 2017

Tagged: Comics and Graphic Novels

The majority is a reprint of the previously collected "Broken City", but the two shorter included tales - including one of the darkest alternate histories I've ever seen in a comic - are better.

Batman : Gothic Deluxe Edition by Morrison, Grant.

★★★★☆

Reviewed by Robert N on Jun 5, 2017

Batman works very well when not laden down by ongoing plots and crossover storylines. Perhaps if publishers were to move away from the 'tie ever issue of every title into one big to-do so that people just have to buy them all' mindset and gave us consistent stand-alone stories and small arcs, sales might actually increase? I know I'd be much more likely to try a new title, or retry an old one, if I wasn't concerned with a year's worth of backstory or relentless cliffhangers and could just enjoy a short story.

"Re-imaginings" and "re-boots" are a dime a dozen. Gem's like this are priceless. For the depth and character given to Harvey Bullock alone its worth the read - this is the first time I can remember such a stock figure being given a compelling and emotional back-story.

Batman & Robin.

One of the silliest collections of Batman tales I've seen in a while. Cartoon villains, odd artwork and muddy stories make for a completely unenjoyable read.

The stories themselves are not very good, but the contextual value they have as insight into the evolution of the characters is priceless.

The main stories are good, the un-captioned, two-part digression where Batman fights illegal immigration ?!? is not.

The artwork was childish to the point of distraction and there was not nearly enough Batman for a Batman story.

Batman. by Loeb, Jeph.

★★★★★

Reviewed by Robert N on Jun 5, 2017

Tagged: Comics and Graphic Novels

This is the rare graphic novel that meets expectations. Wide ranging in scope and littered with iconic characters, Loeb still manages to bring fresh twists that make old friends feel new, rather than the all to common error of making changes just to be original - established character bedamned.
On a side note it was also interesting to see how much of this work was strip-mined in the creation of the "Dark Knight" film - several line of dialogue seem to be pulled out in toto and numerous settings and shot angles are reproduced as well.

How disgustingly deceptive to label this as "new 52" when it all takes place (as far as anyone can tell) in alternate timelines or the future or parallel dimensions or who the heck cares.
