Batman the Imposter

Product Information

You can just kind of look at that as, “oh, he got angry, and now he’s taking out his anger in this way. There’s a second Batman haunting Gotham’s rooftops and alleys—and this one has no qualms about murdering criminals, live and on tape. Feels like it's longer than it should be, and there's a romantic development that is foisted upon the reader, unconvincingly. Leslie helps stabilize Bruce and gives him an ultimatum: Come talk with her for an hour after every night or she will turn him into the police.

Batman might never be a 100 percent realistic character, but in trying to imagine the most grounded version of the character they could while also delivering the superhero goods, the creative team talked a lot about what the story's action would look like. Having been a fan of his for years, working with Andrea Sorrentino is an absolute gift,” added Tomlin. Batman: The Imposter was also published simultaneously in the following territories: Argentina, Brazil, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Russia, South Korea, Spain and Turkey.There's a lot to appreciate in the ground level crime story presented here however, including the stunning art by Andrea Sorrentino. And just by taking the rug out from from under the character in the couple of ways that The Imposter does, I’ve found myself thinking, okay, that’s the bar in terms of emotional realism, and you can’t start walking back from that. This kind of take on the character is going to feel different from some of the other things that we’ve seen before. Where he’s able to make peace with some of these more troublesome elements of himself, but is still able to continue his career? As much as Thompkins is determined to help Bruce with his mental state, a Batman imposter is causing chaos in the city through murder, making the real Batman a target of the GCPD, including Detective Blair Wong.

There's also the title imposter, who appears in the first issue and sends ripples through Gotham City, from the underworld to the police department, with their attempts to imitate Batman. Localized print versions of the series will also launch day and date in the following territories: Spain, Germany, Brazil, Mexico, Italy, France, Russia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Japan, South Korea, Turkey, and Argentina. The action is also spectacular as Jordie Bellaire’s colours are used to punctuate the impact of characters getting hurt.

Instead, in the spirit of stripping away more allies for Batman to rely on, Tomlin created a new character in Gotham City Detective Blair Wong, a determined investigator who's every bit Bruce Wayne's equal. The wealthy and the powerful of Gotham remain opposed to Batman, so he's unlikely to ever enjoy again the limited leeway he once did with the GCPD. I’ve never seen a version of Batman where those characters are taken out of the equation in an emotionally devastating way. With a narrative that focuses on both an antagonist inspired by Batman’s vigilantism and the psychology of the flawed hero, all of which told in a grounded manner that evokes Year One, Tomlin isn’t breaking any new ground. com, the series received generally favorable ratings, with a Comicscore Index of 73 based on 30 ratings from critics.

Just like movie this book also takes things too serious, too realistic, too dark to the point that it no more feels a Batman story.Frankly, it scares me, because I know it’s territory that could upset a lot of people in the same way that taking Alfred out the way that I did. Sometimes this question is easier to answer than other times, but with The Batman, it’s an incredibly easy answer.
