Gotham is supposed to be the city of monsters, with Batman being the worst monster of them all—well until the Reptilian of course, but that’s perfect since the art now plays into this story Ennis has set up and really helps sell you from the start on just what kind of Batman book this will be. Not that I think it’s from a lack of opportunity - I’m sure he’s been offered every superhero title under the sun by Marvel and DC over the decades he’s been writing comics - but, if we assume the things expressed by characters like Frank Castle and Billy Butcher are similar to his perspective, it’s safe to say that Ennis doesn’t think much of superheroes in general. In the final issue, after Batman tries to use him as bait for Killer Croc's offspring, he tries to get back at him for all the fear and troubles Batman put him in. don't get me wrong I love the art, hence the 3 stars but the dark brooding mood it evokes combined with this humor .

It’s fun and scary and gorgeous: exactly what I want the DC Black Label books to be - A little more mainstream than Vertigo was, but totally untethered to traditional DC sensibilities. Some rare moments of dark and unexpected verbal humor from our title character occasionally liven up the dark proceedings, but otherwise this was unimpressive and unmemorable.Co hlavně z Reptiliana dělá jeden z nejlepších ucelených Batmaních příběhů je nejen lehce jiný take na Batmana, ale naprosto nádherná a uhrančivá kresba, která i během celého volumě mění nálady a lehce i styl. He uses his no-kill rule as a weapon, threatening others with the fear of pain to get the information he needs.

No a nabízí nám tu více satirickou verzi Batmana, kdy tu máte na něj více cynický pohled ve kterém vám dojde že on vlastně není taková dobrá duše a že i jeho konání místy se dá srovnat s padouchi se kterými válčí. As expected, Waylon is confused and disgusted by all this, even wishing his alcoholic aunt drowned him to death as a child. Despite being lower profile than Preacher, Hitman ran for 60 issues (plus specials) from 1996 to 2001, veering wildly from violent action to humour to an examination of male friendship under fire. An Übermensch who, in the hands of Mr Ennis, does not shy away from also showing tinges of sarcasm, a grotesque figure which connects to the reader who realizes that going around a city dressed up like a bat is something far removed from sanity. 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.He combines a bold, graphic style that uses heavy black silhouettes with an obsessive attention to detail that really suits the mania of the story.

Nemluvě i o právě skvělém absurdním příběhu který ve své hloubce dává vzpomenout na ujetější eskapády. Mr Sharp’s pages are mesmerizing, and there is an element of artistic freedom that shows how splendid the ingredient of the grotesque can be. Even though I adore Sharp’s work, I will always wonder what Dillon’s rendition of the story would have looked like. He seemed to have greatly enjoyed drawing it and I’ve enjoyed seeing it even though some readers might be put off-balance.A decidedly more cynical and grim take on the character, it also takes Batman back to his roots as "The World's Greatest Detective", with more of an emphasis on mystery and suspense than on super-heroics. o que acontece aqui nesta minissérie, mas que não deixa de provocar sentimentos diversos e ambíguos àqueles que têm acesso à ela. Batman, then, cleverly represents the whole spectrum of the superhero genre, moving from its original format (for kids, that is) to a more adult take. Despite its top tier talent, Batman: Reptilian is a really boring, underwhelming, and instantly forgettable comic - a very poor (lack of) effort from Garth Ennis.

Created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane, Batman has been the subject of many changes, many interpretations (and, also, reinterpretation), a necessity given its long – seemingly unending – life.Yes, there were already hints – an Alfred so waspish that he was rapidly passing The Servant en route to 'Suits you, sir! Or maybe, the bizarre shift in tone will feel less abrupt once the series is collected into a trade.
