Batman: Reptilian

Product Information

The obnoxious dialogue really kills anything interesting about the actual story for me and made it a bit of a slog to get through since I had to stop and sigh and roll my eyes every other panel. Este quadrinho me provocou sentimentos ambíguos sobre o que os autores, Garth Ennis e Liam Sharp tentaram fazer com esta minissérie/encadernado Batman: Reptiliano. The art would have benefited from it, and the story would’ve worked a lot better broken into three issues instead of six. He uses his no-kill rule as a weapon, threatening others with the fear of pain to get the information he needs.

Other comics Ennis has written include War Story (with various artists) for DC; The Pro for Image Comics; The Authority for Wildstorm; Just a Pilgrim for Black Bull Press, and 303, Chronicles of Wormwood (a six issue mini-series about the Antichrist), and a western comic book, Streets of Glory for Avatar Press. Batman initially thinks this trope is in play, with a bigger, badder villain taking out all the other criminals in Gotham, but it soon becomes clear something else is going on. On the contrary, Mr Ennis cleverly founds his tale and his characterizations both drawing on the classic mythology of Batman’s world and reshaping this very world, balancing between the likely and the unlikely. Back in 2016, the Preacher show was just about to launch on AMC, and around that same time, Steve Dillon, co-creator and penciler of Preacher, was very ill and hadn’t been drawing very much as of late.He also finds Joker to be the single most annoying character in all of comic books, which is an unfathomably based take. Self-Deprecation: There are a number of snarky remarks about Batman being nothing but a rich guy with too much time on his hands, most of them courtesy of Alfred.

Ennis, mostly doing this as a favor to get a friend back into the swing of things after he had been sick, just forgot about the script.Yes Batman is a dark character, yes he uses fear as a weapon, but in this book he comes across as much of an uncaring sociopath as the criminals he is chasing or "putting into traction". One of DC’s “Black Label” titles which denotes a more mature tone to the story and on that score alone it certainly delivers, a series of gruesome attacks on Gothams villains cause Batman and Killer Croc to go looking for the creature responsible.
