Many a Batman fan has told me her run as Batgirl was incredible. Still a bit surface-level for being multiple parts but a good place to start for pushing back on Batman as a symbol. Batman: Detective Comics Volume 3 League of Shadows however remains fun and interesting as it explores so many characters at the same time. Sign In Don't have an account? If I had not been reading Kelley Puckett 's run on the character concurrently, I would have been lost through half of the story. I am interested in seeing more of her character in this run and elsewhere. I guess Tynion really liked DKR. With two new members of the team, Azrael and Batwing, will the Dark Knight's squadron of crime-fighters be able to discover the League's plan? NOT Cassandra Cain. I'm still on the fence about this Rebirth title, but I keeping reading because. As for the plot and some of the other story threads they are just passable. Jul 17, Ryan Stewart rated it liked it Shelves: read-graphic-novels-comics-manga. I skipped the Monster Men rubbish in the middle because I'd already read it and hated it , but I think it was very pointless to include it in this book because a it has its own collected edition, and b it was just the chapters that were published in Detective Comics and they don't make a whit of sense without the other chapters. Aug 15, Eli Seibert rated it it was amazing Shelves: graphic-novels-comic-collections , batman-and-batfam. I enjoyed Rise of the Batmen and The Victim Syndicate to the point that I almost completely overlooked their flaws, but that just wasn't possible with League of Shadows. Innocent victims maimed or broken by Batman's greatest enemies band NOT Shiva. What really stood out from this volume is the artwork, and not in a good way. Batwoman begins: As the title suggests, some throwbacks are thrown to the past so we can see Cassandra's first steps as she follows Batman, but after this we can continue the story as The Colony tries to rescue Kane, they also steal a monster formula created by Hugo Strange. Story: Paced alright but I did find the dialogue a bit much and sometimes fairly redundant. Error rating book. Arkham Asylum has Sort order. This all sounds great, but there are a few things I did not like at all about this book. Cass is the star of the show in this volume, which was one of the pros. I actually got big Hope's for it but apparently the evil bat story was the good one in this deluxe addition. I really appreciate the writing spending time getting to know the characters in this series. Overall, a mixed comic, but still at least 3. For some odd reason Batman believes they aren't real. Azrael, Batwing, and Clayface were hardly in this volume. That's so exciting!!! In fact, some of it, including the first and last arcs collected here, are really quite engaging. Very entertaining book. Batman: Detective Comics Vol. 3: League of Shadows (Rebirth) 1st edition Writer Keep up the solid work! Oct 09, Justin Nelson rated it liked it. The end was good leaving the stage set for more. In this volume we get to learn more about Cassandra Cain aka Orphan. Especiall A fun, action packed, bloody adventure of not only Batman, but his whole roster of hero's against the League of Shadows. The artwork is decent without standing out. I mean no disrespect to Christian Duce or Marcio Takara they both draw better than I ever could and I appreciate that fill-ins are necessary on the comics that DC release twice a month. The introduction of this Big Bad villain was pretty well done and conveys that urgent threat that is sure to come soaring into Gotham. Longmont Public Library. The tendency to redo pre- Flashpoint stories only works if they can stand on their own. I would definitely recommend this to Batman fans. She's such an intriguing character, and one of my favorite bats. This story is a composite story of her two original storylines as Batgirl. The script is good. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. In a perfect world sure they'd all be doing something else to help people, but the world's not perfect and it's not going to get better by them stopping. Overall good, but not great. The moments of quietness for the character really help grow her. This is the new origin and her being still tied to Shiva is perfect. Friend Reviews. No trivia or quizzes yet. There's also a flashback where Tim Drake confronts Batman on why he has to have eyes and ears everywhere. Batman: Detective Comics Vol. 3: League of Shadows (Rebirth) 1st edition Reviews Their work looks amazing, but i'm not sure which I care about less, the Azrael story for the next volume or the Dark Days lead-in for I really enjoyed James Tynions take on Orphan.

Trivia About Batman: Detective Search for. Making her fascinated with ballet makes complete sense. And whenever Batman was around, it was usually just him being surprised and unprepared, which was very tiresome. Overall, a mixed comic, but still at least 3. Tim accuses Bruce of preparing for war. Then the job shifted into the hands of Christian Duce for two consecutive issues. Characters: I love Cass and her story and her struggles and I wish we had more time with her. There's some great character work between Clayface and Cain. Like, oh look, a villain wants to destroy Gotham for unclear reasons I plan to review the second volume of that run soon, but this run has her under her pre-Batgirl codename: Orphan. Cassandra Cain and her meeting with Shiva. Cover Gallery. Get a library card. Enjoyed the story although at times it felt a little too simple of a conclusion. Choose a Format. I did enjoy Fernando Blanco's pages yes, the fill-in artists needed a fill-in and were outshone by him and Marcelo Maiolo colours the hell out of the last few issues. I realize that these stories are supposed to be building that interest in the new characters, but they're not working for me. Loading Excerpt Every now and then a really good page appears, but it stands out like a sore thumb and then bump, you are back to the sub-par rendering again. Batman: Detective Comics, Vol. New heroes like Azrael, an avenging angel, and Batwing, whose incredible armor makes him a true dark knight. A fun, action packed, bloody adventure of not only Batman, but his whole roster of hero's against the League of Shadows. Apr 13, Simon Farrow rated it it was amazing. This was one of my fears with DC going to a biweekly schedule on its bigger titles. As for the plot and some of the other story threads they are just passable. No trivia or quizzes yet. In this book he defers to Batwoman, tells her he needs her, and that she has skills that he can't hope to match when it comes to training a team of allies as he begs her to help him out. I say that not just because I love Cass and it focused on her but because it had a beginning, middle and end and by focusing more on one character, it felt more cohesive. Get A Copy. He's supposed to be the world's greatest detective, in a book called Detective Comics, so why is he constantly being being outsmarted? Like, genuinely boring and derivative. That's also Great! This was one of my forays into DC's Rebirth Era, and what they have been doing with one of their flagship characters. Story: Paced alright but I did find the dialogue a bit much and sometimes fairly redundant. The world building is solid, it comes from all the Batman books and the past which is good cause I guess that stuff all happened even in the New Jul 17, Ryan Stewart rated it liked it Shelves: read-graphic- novels-comics-manga.

And what's most unfortunate is that it seems as though the writers are aware of this, and have gotten a bit lazy because they know people will hang around for that. The diverse cast is a real strong point of this book and allows for a lot of storytelling potential. These were the parts Very entertaining book. Sep 12, Quentin Wallace rated it really liked it.

  • Superheroes in Gotham,” the Exhibition of Comic Book New York… Gotham City… Metropolis… at the New-York
    By James D. Balestrieri NEW YORK CITY — Disclosure: I still have my comic book collection, books from the early 1970s for the most part, from what is referred to as the Silver Age of Comics, silver calling to mind the silver bullets that plagued the Werewolf By Night, calling to mind the Silver Surfer, that most cerebral and cosmic of the superheroes, calling to mind the Fantastic Four and the silver temples of their leader, Reed Richards (mine are silver, too, though my ability to stretch, as opposed to his, seems to be on the wane). My children marvel at my Marvel Comics and Classics Illustrated — now bagged and boarded in acid-free Mylar. Batman (No.1, Spring 1940), Bob Kane and Bill Finger. Published by Detective Comics, Inc, New York. Serial and Government Publications Division, Library of Congress, Washington D.C. Full disclosure: you may well see, somewhere in this essay, a photo of attendees at the 2012 Comic Con in New York. I was there, with my family, and was in a kind of makeshift getup as the Shadow, that 1930s pulp hero — “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men…” — who was the inspiration for Batman. Deep disclosure: the brief bio that closes my writing in Antiques and The Arts Weekly alludes to the plays, screenplays and stories I write. It doesn’t mention the graphic novel I’ve been composing for the past three years.

    1 Detective Comics #27: The very first glimpse we get of the guy and already he looks pissed. 2 The first time we see Batman’s origin. It, um, won’t be the last. But modern retellings invariably discard this candlelit oath- making bit of business, likely deeming it hokey. Which: sure it is. But to skip it does a grave disservice; that oath is who Batman is. 3 For the very first time, the Joker strikes. 4 Thirty-eight years after that gruesome first kill, the Englehart/ Rogers/Austin team would pay fannish homage to it—and to a lot of Batman’s history—during their acclaimed run. 5 Enter: the pixie-booted pre- pubescent! Brought on board just a year after Batman’s first appearance to lighten the mood, Robin doubled sales and touched off a vogue for kid sidekicks. But! 6 (Detail of above page.) For decades, Robin’s steadfast appearance at Batman’s side has invited snide jokes and innuendo. Perhaps this was inevitable, even fated. Some unfortunate kerning in his introductory scroll (“ . .takes under his protect- ing mantle GUYS WHERE’S THE SPACE BETWEEN ‘AN’ AND ‘ALLY’ AW GEEZ STOP THE DAMN PRESSES”) couldn’t have helped matters. 7 Robin’s chirpy presence made for a sunnier Batman. His rogues’ gallery felt it too: suddenly mass-murdering became passé and petty larceny was au courant. Take this goon: Joe Coyne, the Penny Plunderer, and his “crime symbol.” In Gotham’s underworld, ya gotta have a gimmick. 8 In the ’50s, Batman’s supporting cast swelled with masked hangers-on.

    TARTU UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES NARVA COLLEGE STUDY PROGRAM “HUMANITIES IN MULTILINGUAL SCHOOL” Aleksandra Artemjeva HOW BATMAN COMICS REFLECTS CHANGES IN AMERICAN SOCIETY DURING THE GOLDEN AGE OF COMIC BOOKS Bachelor’s thesis Supervisor: Asst. Žanna Rootsi, MA NARVA 2019 Olen koostanud töö iseseisvalt. Kõik töö koostamisel kasutatud teiste autorite tööd, põhimõttelised seisukohad, kirjandusallikatest ja mujalt pärinevad andmed on viidatud. ............................................. Töö autori allkiri ja kuupäev 2 PREFACE At the beginning of the 20th century, comic books about Batman were becoming more and more popular. Practically from the first comic book, Batman increases people’s interest in his character – superhero without superpowers. How could he even be a superhero? The typical man who becomes something bigger than an ordinary human. Comic books about Batman have suffered many changes through their numerous years of existence. This is a result of the historical and political events that took place at the times of the Golden Age of comic books. In addition, a lot of changes in the comic books were due to the criticism it had faced. This tendency provides a possibility to research about Batman comic books more deeply. The aim of the research is to study the Batman comic books from the DC universe. To analyse how authors have been transforming comic books from the beginning to 1956. The research task is to select a specific period for time for the Batman comics, to read those elected comics and inspect all changes from comic books about Batman during the chosen period of time and to identify changes that were influenced by social, political and historical events.
