Brilliant. The negative reviews don't "get it"
21. November 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
This is not a book about a millionaire's exploits as a masked vigilante. Anyone who begins this book expecting something like Dark Knight Returns or your typical Batman story is looking at the book from the wrong perspective.
What we have here is an amazing portrayal of the Batman as an ideal. A force that can't be stopped by age or oppression. It is not a story about a superhero in the public spotlight, but about a rebel operating in the shadows, trying to obtain justice without being noticed.
All these unanswered questions that people are complaining about - "who is batman?" "is it bruce wayne? how is he alive?" "where are the other super heroes?" - NONE of them matter. You're all missing the point; the "who" doesn't matter - its the idea of the Batman that is important. Did you all have this much of an issue when Mark Millar made Superman a communist?
Paul Pope's art is, as usual, amazing. Jose Villarubia's colors are perfectly suited to the environments. The writing is top-shelf - creating a true sense of realism on the part of the Batman, while still creating a fantastic futuristic setting. Pope's sketches and notes in the back show just how much thought he put into his design of the famous Batman.
This is an amazing take on the Bat-mythos from an amazingly talented creator with a true understanding of the character. Unique, visually stunning, and pure in execution. There is no reason not to own this book.

Good But Leaves To Many Unanswered Questions
1. Februar 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
It is the future and it is not a good one. The government knows everything about everyone. Everyone except the Batman. When a Fed is killed Batman is there and suddenly the Batman is more than rumor and urban legend. He is an anomaly to the system that cannot be allowed to continue. Police Commissioner Gordon has been locked out of the murder investigation and railroaded into providing all files pertaining to the Batman. But while Gordon finds the few scraps the department has, the Batman is trying to solve the fed's murder, and the Feds are trying to corral the Batman. It all comes together in the end in a satisfying way.
This is a very interesting story. It is part Elseworlds as we have a Batman with a young Protege named Robin. He contacts Commissioner Gordon, an honest cop. Robin makes noises about becoming Nightwing. But it is also part Dark Night as events of Frank Miller's book are referred to. Finally it is canonical as it ties in to the earliest Batman stories. Somehow all three aspects are made to fit as a whole. I was not completely pleased with the art. Batman has a tendency to look Asian and his head often ends right above his eyes (no forehead). But the art has a gritty style that complements the dark nature of the future and the story being told.
My only real disappointment is that there were too many unanswered questions. There may be a sequel in the works that answers these questions. Not least of these is the idea that Batman has been around for a hundred years. The traditional Batman has no physical super powers but there must be something here like science that has kept him young and able. We will have to wait and see. Check it out.

Not Pope's best work but still fun
11. November 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This isn't as deep as Pope's usual work on THB or HEAVY LIQUID and the like. It is his version of Batman, and that's fun to see. A little grittier and earthier than the classic portrayal of the Dark Knight. And it's in the future so you get to see Pope's use of futuristic gadgets and plot devices, as in THB. The Paul Pope reboot of Batman.
