#batman 75

[izzys-issues]

57. "Court of Owls"

(Batman Vol 2 # 1 - 7, November 2011-June 2012)

RATING: 8 🕴🏻Alfred Shotguns out of 10

This was so fantastic, I'd love to read more of this era of Batman in the future. I've never known anything about the Owls but my curiosity was definitely piqued during my recent DCAU binge. I think by far it is one of the better additions to ever come to Bat-adjacent stuff. They feel like the best villainous reflection of him that has so far been introduced and the writing on this was fantastic through and through. Also the formatting that required you to spin the book as Bruce gets more and more delusional after a week without sleep or water is so damn immersive and I loved it. The emphasis on detective work and creative problem solving in this really highlighted the things I enjoy most about Batman and now that I've admitted it I can better come to terms with it.

FAVORITE: "I'm the only legend this city needs"

LEAST FAVORITE: I could have been fine with 3-4 days in the Owl Labyrinth but 8 REALLY stressed my suspension of disbelief

Batman #76 by Tom King and Tony S Daniel

[ufonaut]

let’s talk about all the details in eddie and joker’s office because i’ve been able to think of nothing else since #75 came out (thanks mitch gerads!!!)

first of all, the mister miracle references

the “darkseid is” post it note & joker’s “i am god” mug, which scott free has in mm

then you’ve got detective riddler (or riddle?) and detective jokes (and the fact that the previous name plates say det. santiago & det. peralta as per brooklyn nine nine)

there are also all the doodles courtesy of tom king himself (check his twitter to see more delightfully terrible drawings!)

(note the nine panel comic page at the bottom)

my personal favourite part of that is joker drawing himself upside down and also putting all the HAs upside down too

equally important are “throw darts @ bullock” and a google search for something i can’t quite figure out (anyone got any suggestions?)

The Dark Knight's Darkest Hour? Preview Batman #75 From King, Daniels And DC Comics

The Dark Knight’s Darkest Hour? Preview Batman #75 From King, Daniels And DC Comics

This is it! The final story arc in the meticulously crafted saga of Batman that Tom King and partners have been telling for the past 74 issues of Batman. And, its a warm welcome from me to see Tony Daniels back on art duty. An artist who, for me, is one of the quintessential Batman artists of this generation.

Judging from the preview, Bane has finally got what he wants. A broken Batman and rule…
