Rorschach | Tom King

Pickpick

106/100 I finished this a couple of days ago, but forgot to post a review. If you like dark stories, full of deception, violence, and government conspiracies, this is the graphic novel for you. Tom King always finds new ways to look at a character, and here Rorschach is more an idea than a person. I liked the artwork, it matched the story's dark and gritty nature. 4/5 ⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

🤩🪄🦇💖.

When I tried to pinch out a napkin from a dispenser, it tore and released only a little trim.

I tried again and only manage to tear off a larger piece. About to huff at the dispenser, I caught a glimpse of the larger torn piece of napkin in my hand.

Is it wacky me? Or is that the Batman symbol!

AnnCrystal As I pulled out my book to slip the cloth inside of for safe keeping, a friend came up and pinched out a napkin from the dispenser. Without a hitch, she retrieved a napkin for herself and freed the remainder of the one that had tore on me along with it. My napkin flew into the air and I snatched it up, which made my friend laugh.

I sat where I could watch the dispenser for awhile, noting that no one else had a problem plucking out napkins.

AnnCrystal A bookmark, that's what I will make with this peculiar piece of cloth.

This reminds me of that plastic that caught in my neighborhood tree, the one that looked like a giant Batman symbol...I've attached that old post to this one.

Wayne of Gotham: A Novel | Tracy Hickman
post image

The fact that Gotham has seemingly seeped into reality has truly rocked my psyche.

Still love my Batman, but crazy Gotham has had me avoiding my favorite superhero for months now.

Truthfully, for a Batman fanatic, I don't really have that many Batman books/movies on my shelves...👀🤷🏽....yet when I do read/watch Batman, I soak up scenes like fuel. I delight that I can anticipate Bruce Wayne's/Batman's choices and moves beforehand...

👇🏼

AnnCrystal and when I'm surprised, I spend time analyzing why Bruce Wayne/Batman made his decisions as if I've been given a grand new insight into Bruce Wayne's character.

Bruce Wayne's Batman fuels my hope, rejuvenates my warrior spirit, highlights the importance of holding onto empathy, and so much more.

AnnCrystal This book first captured my interest just after I realized that the original Bruce Wayne is the only Batman I connect with...this seems to focus on the Wayne family mystery.

It also seemed like a safe choice, since it doesn't seem to focus on the usual foes of Gotham.

Yet I have still hesitated to read this book...

AnnCrystal Monday evening, I came into my bedroom and I discovered this book moved from my bookshelf to my bedside table...with a newly handcrafted Batman bookmark!

A letter was tuck inside this book, where my mom wrote the following:

“Our ancestors had their stories about our cultural heroes, stories we are both rediscovering but neither you or I were raised knowing from childhood. Not the stories about our American indigenous heroes.

AnnCrystal That's because these stories were lost somewhere along our family's line, lost because all our Ancestral stories and cultural ways became forbidden. Forbidden because they gave us power, courage, and hope.

Info did trickle down through the generations, but so much must be rediscovered and reconnected with.

You attached yourself to Batman since you were two years old. You adopted him before Zorro, before Zapata, before other obsessions.

AnnCrystal Our reality may feel like Gotham City, but do not allow yourself to avoid Gotham, because then you also avoid Gotham's hero.

You have allowed reality's villains to take away the hope that the Batman character ignites within in you.

Rediscover your Batman! Allow the magic held within the pages to seep into your fingertips and fuel you with the power, courage, and the hope that Batman so easily inspires for you.“

These words shook me to the core...I had thought avoiding Gotham City would calm some of my anxiety...yet avoiding Batman could only truly mean one thing for me...

...and there is no 🤬 way that I am ever going to give up on HOPE!

My mom left the heart for me to write whatever I wanted, “fuel your mind“ felt fitting 💖🦇🥰🦇💖.

Years after the heroes of the Justice League retire, a new generation of powered people quarrel and fight each other, making life for civilians dangerous. This book is the antithesis of the film MAN OF STEEL. It answers the question ‘Why do we need Superman?‘ We need him to be the role model for the concept of ‘superhero‘. Otherwise, we live amongst fascist Gods ruling over us mortal peons. His most valuable power is always doing what‘s right.

One of the biggest complaints about Batman is he could do more good with Bruce Wayne‘s money than as a masked vigilante, beating up impoverished muggers. Without getting into the responses to this (cause honestly for me BM is just a pathway to the larger bat family) Absolute Batman just makes Batman lower middle class. Batman‘s grief and rage, as an adult and child, are well done. His mother is a revelation.
