2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Batman is seen by many as judge and executioner of the city's vilest villains. Well, it's time for him to meet the Jury! Batman rampages through the underworld of Gotham! Driven to a violent madness courtesy of the Jury's Vile serum, the Dark Knight crushes bones, makes a scene, and gives costumed vigilantes in Gotham a very bad name. But will the Jury's plan backfire? Can a violent rage-machine packed with money, weapons, and an insatiable bloodlust possibly end well for Mr. Worth and his Jury? Fear State grips Gotham City! When Mayor Nakanos city hall office finds itself under siege, the only hero who can help the embattled local official is the man Nakano pledged to rid from Gotham: Batman. The top vigilante in the city must protect the man whos fought so hard to put an end to masked heroes. Includes Detective Comics #1040-1046 and Batman Secret Files: Huntress #1.

Pickpick

I've really enjoyed Mariko Tamaki's very grounded run on Detective Comics, which harmonizes well with James Tynion's concurrent run on Batman. We must be having a real fungal moment because this story, like The Last of Us, also features a fungus.

I'm a broken record about how wildly good Dan Mora's art is, but it's so cool to see one of my favorite artists drawing my favorite character. I love Mariko Tamaki's pacing, too.

CatLass007 @JLaurenceCohen There was a time when I collected every Batman comic I could get my hands on. Then finances became an issue. Whine. I have read some graphic novels here and there, but even that has not been very recent. Batman is my favorite superhero mostly because he‘s just human. And I appreciate why he is so driven. I have been a fan of The Dark Knight for more years than I care to remember. (edited) 1y
JLaurenceCohen @CatLass007 this is The Dark Knight's 15th anniversary, and it's still the best superhero movie. If you haven't read Scott Snyder's Batman comics, I highly recommend them. 1y
CatLass007 @JLaurenceCohen Thanks for the recommendation. 1y

CatLass007 @JLaurenceCohen I just looked up Scott Snyder‘s Batman. I borrowed The Court of Owls from the library. I may have borrowed City of Owls also. Pretty much a wow! (edited) 1y
JLaurenceCohen @CatLass007 nice! When you finish Snyder's in-continuity run, check out his Black Label story Last Knight on Earth 1y
CatLass007 @JLaurenceCohen I thought The Court of Owls was excellent. I‘m adding Scott Snyder to my “always read list.” 1y
CatLass007 @JLaurenceCohen I just re-read our exchange and it dawned on me that you were talking about The Dark Knight movie. I was thinking about Frank Miller‘s The Dark Knight Returns. Which one was the movie you were talking about? Was that the one with Heath Ledger? I can‘t even remember who played Batman in that one. But I still remember sitting in the theater and the gut punch of the opening of Tim Burton‘s Batman starring Michael Keaton. (cont)⬇️ 1y
CatLass007 I think it was Danny Elfman‘s score that gave the movie an extra oomph. And I think it‘s the only Tim Burton movie I‘ve ever liked. That movie was groundbreaking, in both good and bad ways. It was the re-launch of the superhero genre. And that‘s what‘s both good and bad. Hollywood never knows when to stop. The market has become glutted with some pretty awful movies. 1y
