The partnership of Batman and Commissioner Gordon is one of the most important and long-running in all of comics. After all, these two characters have been there since the beginning appearing in the first Batman story all the way back in 1939’s Detective Comics #27. The relationship between the two was always an important part of the mythos and with Batman: Turning Points this partnership is examined and celebrated by looking at it evolved through the years and the impact that he had not only on the two men but also the city of Gotham. Five stories make up this collection each taking part at different points in the character’s history. “Uneasy Allies” takes place right after Batman: Year One and has Batman and Gordon dealing with a hostage situation. “And Then There were…Three?” is a Silver Age tribute that introduces Robin to the equation. “Casualties of War” explores the aftermath of Batman: The Killing Joke and Death in the Family. “The Ultimate Betrayal” shows the impact of how the events of Knightfall put a strain on the relationship, and the final story “Comrades in Arms” takes place in the present and is really a confirmation and celebration of the two character’s partnership and the impact that they have had. These stories are really well done and with the talent involved that shouldn’t be much of a surprise. Greg Rucka and Ed Brubaker each do two stories with Chuck Dixon writing the 90’s era tale. The writers have a clear love for these two characters as well as the history of Batman in general. In each story, the writers perfectly capture the different eras of Batman right down to writing style. All the stories are pretty solid and each brings something different. The standouts for me are “Casualties of War” in which Ed Brubaker perfectly captures the style and tone of the late 80’s Batman stories. The art by Batman legend Dick Giordano is also really great and fits the time as well. “Uneasy Allies” and “Comrades in Arms” are the high point of the collection and work as the bookends of the tales. In the first story, Greg Rucka and artist Steve Lieber perfectly capture the Year One feel and tell a great that almost feels like lost pages from that story. The last story connects with the events of the first story but also builds on the other stories as well showing that despite all the darkness and hardship Batman and Gordon have ultimately made a positive impact in the world. Along with the great stable of writers the artists are equally as great. Much like the writing, the artists perfectly able to capture the style of the era. Steve Lieber, Joe Giella, Dick Giordano, Brent Anderson, and Paul Pope all bring their A-game and greatly enhance the quality of these stories. It can be very difficult to basically copy someone else style and still make it your own but these artists do it with ease. This book came out right before the Batman: Officer Down storyline which would see Gordon retire from the police force and basically end the partnership as it was up to that point. It clearly seems like this collection of stories was put out to celebrate the team of these two characters before the book was closed on it. Of Course, Gordon would come back, but at the time it was a pretty big change and this book was a fitting way to send it off. This book could have easily been a forgettable tie-in to the larger events of the Batman comics at the time but with the talent involved this becomes a book worth checking out. If you are a James Gordon fan who you love the overall history of the Bat-mythos this is a really well- done book that ends up being a loving tribute to both. Batman: Turning Points. Collects: Batman: Turning Points #1-5 (2001) Writers: Greg Rucka, Ed Brubaker, Chuck Dixon. Artists: Steve Lieber, Joe Giella, Dick Giordano, Brent Anderson, Paul Pope. Batman: Turning Points. Over the many decades of Batman’s existence, almost as important as the partnership between Dark Knight and assorted Boy Wonders has been the bizarrely offbeat yet symbiotic relationship between those caped and costumed vigilantes and Gotham City’s top cop James Gordon . In this collection, compiling five individual pastiches released as the miniseries Turning Points in 2001, readers saw revealed significant moments in the development of that shadowy alliance produced, as an added bonus for long-term aficionados, in tribute to key eras in Batman’s waxing and waning career by veteran artists and the toast of the new wave creators… It all begins with ‘Uneasy Allies’ by Greg Rucka & Steve Lieber, set in the days – and style – of the mysterious vigilante’s stormy debut in Frank Miller & Dave Mazzucchelli’s Batman: Year One . Police Captain Gordon is still the only honest cop in a corrupt and brutally gung-ho force, reeling from the shock of his wife divorcing him. When bereaved, heartsick and crazed college professor Hale Corbett takes a wedding hostage, Gotham’s SWAT team commander is champing at the bit to storm in and rack up the body-count, but wanted felon The Batman offers Gordon a slim hope of ending the siege without loss of life… All the masked nut-case wants in return is a sympathetic ear at the GCPD… A working relationship established, ‘…And Then There Were… Three?’ (by Ed Brubaker & Joe Giella – who drew many of the 1960s stories and the Batman newspaper strip) celebrates the era of TV’s “Batmania” as, about a year after their first meeting, reports of a garishly garbed boy assistant to Batman begin to filter in. As deadly psychopath Mr. Freeze rampages through the city, Gordon demands to why the now-tolerated Caped Crusader is recklessly endangering a child… In a romp filled with such past icons as giant props and gaudy villains, a decidedly deadly outcome makes Gordon realise the true nature of Batman and Robin’s relationship… ‘Casualties of War’ (Brubaker, Dick Giordano & Bob Smith) is set in the bleak aftermath following the death of second Robin Jason Todd , the crippling of Barbara ( Batgirl ) Gordon and the torture of her father, all at the bone-white hands of The Joker. A solitary, driven Dark Knight haunts the streets and allies, ceaselessly crushing criminals with brutal callousness, whilst sinister serial killer The Garbage Man prowls unchallenged… When the wheelchair-bound Barbara fails in an attempted intervention to calm a Batman pushing himself near to breaking-point, it takes a rooftop heart-to-heart with now Commissioner Gordon to finally crack the Gotham Guardian’s shell and begin the healing process… Years later, as a result of a strategically systematic attack by would-be crime-lord Bane , an exhausted and broken Batman was replaced by another, darker hero. Set during the Knight-Fall publishing event, ‘The Ultimate Betrayal’ (by Chuck Dixon & Brent Anderson) describes the moment Gordon realised that his enigmatic ally had become a remorseless machine and exterminating angel hunting criminals with no regard to life anymore. If only third Robin Tim Drake could have told him that the man behind the cowl – and claws and razor-armour – was actually Azrael : hereditary and murderously programmed living weapon of an ancient warrior-cult… The journey comes full circle with ‘Comrades in Arms’ by Rucka, Paul Pope & Claude St. Aubin, wherein a mysterious stranger and his family hit Gotham on a mission to find Gordon and Batman, just as the Commissioner introduces his destined successor Michael Akins to the Major Crimes Unit. Word on the street is that the Russian mob are planning a huge retaliatory strike and every cop is waiting for the hammer to fall when Hale Corbett walks into Police HQ demanding to see Gordon and the masked manhunter who changed his life all those years ago… Filtered through gritty modern sensibilities but still able to revere past glories and the Batman’s softer side, this superbly readable collection also includes a cover gallery by artistic all-stars Javier Pulido, Ty Templeton, Joe Kubert, Howard Chaykin, Pope & Tim Sale. © 2001, 2007 DC Comics.
