I think it's really cool when authors and illustrators work together to revamp well established characters, settings, and the motifs that drive them forward. It can breathe freshness into otherwise stale ideas and their stories that could use a little more than a new coat of paint. However, as this comic proves, too much of a good thing can be bad and the over-bloated result that is Batman Noir surprisingly enough is born of a proverbial kitchen with not enough cooks cooking the pot. Since, as th I think it's really cool when authors and illustrators work together to revamp well established characters, settings, and the motifs that drive them forward. Since, as the title would suggest, while certainly not bereft of colors, this one is indeed for all intents and purposes, colorless. A simple simple palette of blacks and whites suffice alongside an equally paper-thin team of workers that include a writer, Azzarello; an illustrator, Risso, and a random assortment of letterers and editors that pepper each story. The former certainly did their jobs to the best of their abilities resulting in stunning visuals and equally formidable verbiage that feels directly replicated from the very black films that influenced them. The latter, however, allowed the stories to bulge further at the seems than the trousers of their individual Batman Noir: Eduardo Risso would allow. Buttons burst and superfluous action, characters, and the excess of chapters that ensconce them could definitely have been cut down Batman Noir: Eduardo Risso. The stories are certainly overwrought as are their homages and references that sparingly pepper them. As any comic aficionado would realize, this Batman tale in each of its variations in Batman Noir: Eduardo Risso deluxe edition explicitly overlaps with another seminal series and his creation, the ever controversial Frank Miller and his Sin City. While Miller's work is a fantastically original work that builds upon noir sensibilities Batman Noir: Eduardo Risso create own its own unique universe with fresh characters and exceedingly nasty villains that populate it, the architects of Batman Noir had to work with already immutably established characters and tropes. The levels of experimentation were restricted and a story already bloated to begin with, could have gained significantly from more artistic leeway. This lack of openness is strongly contrasted with the third story in this collection, Batman Knight of Vengeance. Again, I highly welcome the experimental in art in all forms, especially the sonic and written varieties. However, what the third offering sacrifices in Batman Dogma as it were it revels in utter blasphemy akin to a spawning of Beelzebub. Surely Baphomet's touch can be seen behind every single perversion and inversion of the established Batman Canon. The devoted will be enraged Batman Noir: Eduardo Risso even the casuals, I'm sure, will be a little unhappy. Batman Noir: Eduardo Risso the story had been more coherent I might have enjoyed it but, since its lacking in the making sense department, Batman Noir: Eduardo Risso have to share their revulsion. Penultimately, the micro-story at the beginning, and the faux-Sunday strip editions that bookend it are meh at best, and forgettable at worst. Instead of legit apertifs and digestifs that add to our reading experience, they reduce to a mediocre appetizer and an even more disappointing dessert. All in all, Batman Noir is a welcome yet disappointing experiment that fell short of its potential vision. Stunning visuals and otherwise excellent writing could not cover up the sins of convolution and in-cohesion with a vision as constricted as it could have been something brand spanking new. One duo-chromatic thumb up. Jun 13, Himal Kotelawala rated it really liked it. Loved it. I will not get into specifics because, well, spoilers. The writing is nothing exceptional, but it has this unnerving coldness to it that attempts to - and arguably succeeds in - presenting Bruce Wayne as the irrevocably damaged man that he is in a way that is believable without and this is important forgetting that the Dark Knight is, after all, a larger than life figure of mythi Loved it.

It's never easy to strike that all too necessary balance, and the combined efforts of Brian Azzarello and artist Eduardo Risso achieve just that. Brilliant stuff. View 1 comment. Jun 04, Liz rated it liked it Shelves: arc. A Goodreads Giveaway book Three stars for a great collection of Eduardo Risso's art in the Batman series, but story and narrative style just weren't there. Batman Noir: Eduardo Risso 16, Sam Quixote rated it liked it. Starting in the late 90s with Jonny Double and moving on to their career-defining Vertigo series Bullets, the pair have created a tremendous comics legacy together. This last one is a nice addition as Wednesday Comics is unfortunately out of print at the moment so Batman Noir: Eduardo Risso is the only place you can read this story without shelling out a fortune on eBay. The Batman Noir: Eduardo Risso is simply, what if Joe Chill killed Bruce that night instead of his parents Thomas and Martha - would Gotham still have a Batman and what would that Gotham look like? And what about the extras - one page featuring an unpublished pin-up of Bane. So no, not very deluxe, DC. Aug 22, Scott rated it it was amazing. Spectacular volume from Azarello and Risso. I liken the approach to Batman Noir: Eduardo Risso Miller's Sin City. Many of Batman Noir: Eduardo Risso favorite "baddies" are included here, lurking in the shadows and rainy grime infested streets and alleyways of Gotham. Most of this volume is comprised of the five part story Broken City. A must read for fans of the Dark Knight. What I liked about this collection: 1 the overall presentation of the book, including good paper stock and the deluxe-sized format, 2 the fact that you get the Flashpoint Batman story and the Wednesday Comics Batman story without having to buy those books separately, especially when the quality of the other stories included in those collections is debatable.

Batman Noir: Eduardo Risso, a killer who has a scar on his body for every one of his victims, each scar a memory of his kill. Zsasz argues that the best moment with another human being is when that person knows you hold their life in your hands, just before you take it away. Batman argues that no, the greatest moment is when you save their life and they know they owe you. This "story" was the weakest of the bunch. Batman: Broken City A Batman "noir" story if there ever was one. It really makes you feel that Gotham is a broken, hopeless place. The actual mystery has a number of twists, par for the course in any noir story, and the ending itself is less than satisfying. Flashpoint: Batman By far the jewel of this collection, and tricky to review without spoiling it, this 3-parter tie-in to the DC Comics Flashpoint event gives us a brief, albeit very thorough, look at this alternate Gotham City and the Batman that protects it. Along the way we're witness to some Batman Noir: Eduardo Risso powerful moments. Batman Batman Noir: Eduardo Risso Wednesday Comics The story itself is only 12 pages long imagine having to read that at a rate of Batman Noir: Eduardo Risso page per week! In every way that the Knight of Vengeance story is great, Broken City isn't.
