Batman: Dear Detective (2022) #1 (Detective Comics (2016-))

Product Information

The art is the main highlight, but I’m not going to act as if it made for a more enthralling story that made sense or anything. Lee Bermejo has collected some of his most stunning Batman covers and woven them together to tell a story that strikes right at the heart of the Dark Knight's never-ending crusade. What happens when a comics art powerhouse meets one of the greatest, most exciting heroes of all time? After all, no matter what happens, the rogues always end up back out, nodding to Joker, Penguin, Clayface, etc.

So I bought this explicitly for the art, but I vaguely flipped through it so I didn’t really get a good look at anything (intentionally). Graphic Novels Batgirl (comic) Batgirl and the Birds of Prey: Rebirth (comic) Batman (comic) Batman ’66 (comic) Batman ’66 Meets the Man From U. This story's quite thought-provoking as the character teases how they're a "monster, thief, murderer and psychopath. On the one hand, it was a really cool to have a through line for the art, a fun and interesting way to separate the art into categories for some cohesive organization. And make no mistake, just like Paul Dano's Riddler mentally worked Batman, this story's ciphers, while simpler, do leave a trail of breadcrumbs hinting that the Riddler is behind the sinister, eerie letter again once again.We all knew it was going to be (or not, if Bermejo isn’t your thing), but hey, he’s getting to do this for a reason. The book is presented in the over-sized magazine format and his art, for the most part, looks absolutely great (there are a few early pages that look fuzzy to me. This isn't a comic, it's a collection of Bermejo's cover art stuck together in a book, which is fine if that's what they were saying it is.

It's a hard pill to swallow, given all Bruce has sacrificed and what he'll continue to give up for his war on crime.Overall, I enjoyed how experimental Bermejo went in an effort to elevate and make this art book feel more cohesive, and I especially love the art showcased in it as I will be continuing to follow him for the rest of his artistic career. comic) Batman and Robin (comic) Batman and Robin Eternal (comic) Batman/Superman (comic) Batman v Superman (General Mills) Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (comic) Batman: Arkham Unhinged Batwing (comic) Catwoman (comic) Detective Comics (comic) Earth 2 (comic) Earth 2: Society (comic) Gotham Academy (comic) Gotham Academy: Second Semester (comic) Gotham by Midnight (comic) Grayson (comic) Harley Quinn (comic) Injustice: Gods Among Us (comic) Injustice: Gods Among Us: Ground Zero (comic) Justice League (comic) Justice League/Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (comic) Justice League of America (Rebirth) Mother Panic (comic) New Suicide Squad (comic) Nightwing (comic) Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death (comic) Red Hood/Arsenal (comic) Red Hood and the Outlaws (comic) Robin: Son of Batman (comic) Teen Titans Go! This big twist shows how Bermejo gave crime a personality and made it an immortal, never-ending foe. Bermejo ist ein Ausnahmekünstler, der für mich die besten Batman Zeichnungen abliefert, sie sind düster und wirken realistisch. Despite being told that Lee Bermejo's art is being collected into a cohesive story told through his covers, this conceit doesn't hold up for long.

However, by the time the book closes, the keyword that's left to decode revealed the identity of the author. Lee Bermejo has collected some of his most stunning Batman covers and woven them together to tell a story that strikes right at the heart of the Dark Knight’s never-ending crusade.So don’t go into this expecting your normal comic, because it’s really not your average Batman one-shot.
