    Got it early on Monday and could not put it down since! I started to rewatch the animated series episodes in between reading it and playing the ost on the background when reading. It truly feels like a continuation of the series! Great way to keep Kevin Conroy, Arleen Sorkin and other voice cast members who have passed away alive by revisiting these stories.❤

    I did also want to mention that writer Michael Reaves (TMNT, Real Ghostbusters, Gargoyles) also passed away earlier this year. In addition to his novels, live action work and writing for Batman TAS, he also came up with the story for issue 21 of Batman Adventures and co-write on Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, such as the scene were Bruce pleads with his parents at their grave site that when he made the promise to avenge them at Batman, he didn't count on ever being happy.

    I collected this run as it was coming out. At least the issues I could afford as a broke elementary age child buying comics with my lunch money lol. I remember being amazed that this was running alongside the cartoon and the main comics.
    I was trying to save some money because I have the trades but as soon as you opened that beautiful book and flipped through a few pages, I just had to go ahead and order a copy. How can I love Batman and not double dip.

  • @rodtough2235
    @rodtough2235 10 месяцев назад +8

    I bought and still have and reread all of the comics collected in this edition. It is without doubt one of the best Batman books ever put out by DC and is somehow a tribute and a love letter to every era of the character from the noir crime early days to the modern Dark Knight. It has impeccable script clarity and clear, linear visual storytelling. In short, it is good old fashioned comic books.
    I would recommend this to anyone who hasn't read these before. Buy it and fall in love with the character all over again.
    An absolute classic series.

      Mostly tightly plotted, single issue stories with occasional two parters that managed to hit all the right notes of characterisation and drama in the same way comics did when they were new and exciting, before companies realised they could sell multiple issue arcs that stretched stories out to absurd lengths to resell afterwards as trade paperbacks. Every issue was satisfying and usually compelling and pretty much definitive Batman stories with all the visual impact of the animated series it was based on. These were comic books in their purest and most satisfying form.....

      "Characters act a certain way" you mean how they were from your childhood with no reinvention. Keeping the characters exactly the same makes stories stale buddy. Also that's not what Omar said. He said characters have intrinsic traits that should remain the same but characters should be allowed to change and evolve with the times. Writers are allowed to reinterpret characters bud.

      Writers need to have the characters change somewhat in order to tell more exciting stories. Writing them the same way for decades makes them stagnant buddy. Like it or not the writers at DC and Marvel are great. You have to reinvent characters put them in new situations. As long as you keep the core of the characters. Tom King is great at that. Tom King's supergirl woman of tomorrow is a perfect example of this.

      Omar is a fan of Tom King. He literally praises him all the time. This channel loves Tom King. Are you really going to insult Near Mint Condition like this?

      @@akkakkakekkn "characters have intrinsic traits that should be the same but characters should be allowed to change and evolve with times" it's something i can agree with but as you said there should be some intrinsic traits, a core that remains the same during time, Tom King operates what can best be described as character assassination from Wally West to Martian Manhunter or Riddler.
      Let's try for example Riddler shall we? Riddler is a Batman's villain created by Bill Finger himself, when the character was created he was a crook that used riddles and games during his robberies but the fact is that these riddles where not some sort of call card or something like that, they were a sign of his own compulsion, he needs that people know that he, the Riddler, committed the crime...pretty deep stuff for a character born in the Golden Age.
      Now a great writer what would do with a character like that? He would expand on the aspects that made this character unique and would stay true to the character (if the character is good like in this case): Chuck Dixon is this type of writer.
      He expanded on the character of the Riddler as no one else, writing stories like the 3 parts of lethal pursuits and questions multiply the mistery, Edward became the Riddler because he lacked attention when he grew up, he wasn't beaten by his father or his mother died or something like that, they simply didn't care too much for him, in school he wanted to be special, to be noticed but even there with the bullies and such he had to remain in the shadow, he forced himself to remain a nameless nobody in order to not be bullied, then riddles arrived, a simple puzzle became the chance for Edward to become famous and he did, cheating, because he craves attention so desperately that he has no bound and, in order to complete the puzzle before the others, sneaks in the school during the night, goes to the teacher's desk where the puzzle is kept and completes it over and over again until he can complete it in something like 5 minutes, he obtains what he wanted and the next day he becomes famous in front of the class and even if this will led to him being bullied the sensation he feels is so much better but he grows up being a nobody and, after some time he snaps and becomes the Riddler.
      Chuck Dixon perfectly understood the character and wrote stories that respected the original material as well making the character even better.
      Tom King doesn't do that, he doesn't mantain any intrinsic traits in these characters except the purely superficial ones, in Killing Time, Riddler One Bad Day and the War of Jokes and Riddles he wrote Edward as a psycopath that loves to torture people and even has a series of registers to keep track of all people he wants to torture, he doesn't need to use riddles because for him they're just a gimmick and kills people without problem...where are his "intrinsic traits" buddy? He is a completely different character, riddles are not a gimmick, that's the whole reason he is sent to Arkham because he has a COMPULSION to use riddles, he is not brutal and doesn't like torture that's something Joker would do and that's the key problem: Tom King writes Riddler as a discount version of Joker.
      So no buddy, Tom King is not a good writer he is a pretentious writer that lives so much in Alan Moore's shadow even in his own head that the Riddler in Riddler One Bad Day literally says that the Killing Joke was his plan and not Joker's, i've not insulted Omar, i've literally agreed with something he said.
      You think Tom King or any other writer at Marvel or DC is good? Fine by me but don't pretend that Tom King respects the source material he's been given

      @@niccoloproia3678 Haha you're funny if you think Chuck Dixon has the same level as Tom King. He's done gone work in the past but he was no A-Lister. Has Chuck Dixon won any Eisners? Has Dixon been nominated for a freaking hugo award. Also a lot of what you hated about Tom King's work was editorially mandated. He didn't even want to use wally west in heroes in crisis. Maybe you should blame the editors instead. Also Riddler has been a killer for some time. Just because you don't like an interpretation of a character doesn't mean it wasn't good. So you don't like what Scott Snyder did to Riddler in Zero year or what Geoff Johns did to him in Batman Earth One. King is just following the interpretation of the riddler that was laid in foundation for the new 52 going into rebirth.
      You agree with Omar. That's fantastic. Did you know Omar loved the riddler story you hate, ruclips.net/video/TJoJsi8Cgrs/видео.html. He's also a big fan of Tom King. Has made multiple videos praising Tom King's work. Why watch this channel if you hate Tom King. You need to grow up and learn to evolve with the times buddy. Also I'm not sure if you are but I get the feeling you're one of those comicsgate people. If so you should know that Omar doesn't support comicsgate.
