Before James Tynion IV was announced as Tom King’s successor on Batman, I thought Tom Taylor would’ve made a better replacement. Having read his first standalone Batman story now though… eh… not that he wouldn’t have been worse than Tynion, but his hypothetical Batman run also probably wouldn’t have been good either going by how poor Batman: The Detective turned out. With the Europe setting, which somewhat evokes Batman: Europa, written by Brian Azzarello, there is an element of the globe-trotting adventurer that Batman has been and although there is a bit of detective work from our hero, it ends up not really a big deal, much like really the overall narrative. There is some good character work from a lot of the players and although you can understand the motivations of the villain named Equilibrium, the storytelling itself doesn’t have much thematic heft, despite the potential of such, and thus the book feels like a string of set-pieces. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the character, Warner Bros aired the television short film, Batman: Strange Days, that was also posted on DC's YouTube channel. Brooker, Will (2001).

In 2014, the live-action TV series Gotham premiered on the Fox network, featuring David Mazouz as a 12-year-old Bruce Wayne. In 2018, when the series was renewed for its fifth and final season it was announced that Batman would make an appearance in the series finale's flash-forward. James Robinson( w), Don Kramer( p)."Face the Face – Conclusion" Batman,no.654(August 2006).DC Comics.Batman is strongly disciplined, and he has the ability to function under great physical pain and resist most forms of telepathy and mind control. He is a master of disguise, multilingual, and an expert in espionage, often gathering information under the identity of a notorious gangster named Matches Malone. Batman is highly skilled in stealth movement and escapology, which allows him to appear and disappear at will and to break free of nearly inescapable deathtraps with little to no harm. He is also a master strategist, considered DC’s greatest tactician, with numerous plans in preparation for almost any eventuality. Vore, Bryan. "May Cover Revealed: Batman: Arkham Origins". Game Informer. Archived from the original on April 11, 2013. Since the 1989 film, Batman is often depicted as carrying a projectile which shoots a retractable grappling hook attached to a cable (before this, a he employed a traditionally thrown grappling hook.) This allows him to attach to distant objects, be propelled into the air, and thus swing from the rooftops of Gotham City. In the final issue of The Brave and the Bold in 1983, Batman quits the Justice League and forms a new group called the Outsiders. He serves as the team's leader until Batman and the Outsiders #32 (1986) and the comic subsequently changed its title. The details of the Batman costume change repeatedly through various decades, stories, media and artists' interpretations, but the most distinctive elements remain consistent: a scallop-hem cape; a cowl covering most of the face; a pair of bat-like ears; a stylized bat emblem on the chest; and the ever-present utility belt. His gloves typically feature three scallops that protrude from long, gauntlet-like cuffs, although in his earliest appearances he wore short, plain gloves without the scallops. [124] The overall look of the character, particularly the length of the cowl's ears and of the cape, varies greatly depending on the artist. Dennis O'Neil said, "We now say that Batman has two hundred suits hanging in the Batcave so they don't have to look the same...Everybody loves to draw Batman, and everybody wants to put their own spin on it."

I don't read a lot of DC stuff, and felt woefully out of the loop at the beginning of this story, but that feeling did go away the further in I got. I mean, there is a lot I've missed, but things were explained well enough in the story that I could follow along without problems, and without anything feeling info-dumpy. We have an older, tired Batman, feeling his age, feeling lonely (he doesn't have a Robin, and Alfred has passed away) and restless. When an airplane goes down in the U.K. and a message to Batman is found at the crash, he goes to investigate. Someone is targeting people whose lives had been saved by Batman, which sounds like a revenge thing, amiright? The action and story play out at a fair pace as Bruce travels around Europe on the heels of Equilibrium, the Villain of the Day. Bruce/Batman has to learn how to ask for help instead of trying to do everything alone to keep more people from dying and save the day. The ending, though...it gives me a little trouble, feels like justice wasn't really served. I think the point was about Bruce/Batman accepting t Batman solicitations for May 2010 at DC's The Source".

Aichele, G. (1997). "Rewriting Superman" in G. Aichele & T. Pippin (eds.), The Monstrous and the Unspeakable: The Bible as Fantastic Literature, pp. 75–101. Sheffield: Sheffield Academic Press.Writers have varied in the approach over the years to the "playboy" aspect of Bruce Wayne's persona. Some writers show his playboy reputation as a manufactured illusion to support his mission as Batman, while others have depicted Bruce Wayne as genuinely enjoying the benefits of being "Gotham's most eligible bachelor". Bruce Wayne has been portrayed as being romantically linked with many women throughout his various incarnations. I can imagine this limited series satisfying a particular type of 90s comic nostalgia in the way I assume some of Rob Liefield’s recent comics must, but it’s deeply not for me. This is a comic that leans into the least thoughtful “looked cool to me” visuals imaginable, but then refuses to have fun with that goofy bombast and instead wallows around in a dour, self-serious tone; truly the worst of both worlds.
