Batman: Europa

Product Information

Hopefully it demonstrates that fans want more content featuring these two teaming up and actually getting something done. I loved it, some are gonna hate this i know that but i just love when it's just batsy and joker winding the shit out of each other and being stuck together and i mean you could cut the homoerotic tension with a knife in this and it's soooo good. Joker quips on how having the villain reside in italy makes perfect sense, as some of the worlds greatest villains such as Nero and Mussolini resided there. Die Kontraste zwischen Batman und dem Joker bieten einem absolut nichts Neues und ihre Beziehung in anderen Comics wesentlich interessanter und innovativer dargestellt.

If I want a lot of blah blah blah to pour through, I’ll read 19th century literature (which I love, but it’s not comics and it’s not what I want from comics). ROCK: BETWEEN HELL AND A HARD PLACE (with Joe Kubert), FILTHY RICH (with Victor Santos), and most recently the all-new ongoing series WONDER WOMAN (with Cliff Chiang). Forcing Batman and Joker together in this manner is an excellent catalyst for examining their relationship, however, there is very little of that. None of it was spectacular or that special and if you read a lot of comics, like anyone that picks this up is likely to do, then you’ll see styles you’ve seen before.

My favorite comic stories are usually straight-forward, especially lately when it seems everyone wants to make stories as complex as possible (as in confusing and hard to understand most of the time.

I also greatly enjoyed the twist of forcing Batman and the Joker into working together, almost like a twisted buddy-cop plot. Europa’s artwork may not have been well suited for fight scenes, but it was still gorgeous to look at. Hopefully the score reflects my sentiment well enough overall so that it’s understood that these are nitpicks about a book I really really really enjoyed.

Das, womit Batman - Europa bestechen kann, sind definitiv die verschiedenen Künstler und ihre Abschnitte der Geschichte, die sie jeweils individuell gestaltet haben. The art is the reason to pick this one up, as it enhances an enjoyable three star Batman story to a four. It’s in hopes to saving themselves from death that they go to various different European countries looking for the person responsible or a solution to their problem, but things aren’t looking too good for the both of them as they struggle to remain sane, or as insane as they originally were, throughout their adventure. Europa takes us to various major cities in Europe, and there’s some great historical discussion from both characters’ perspectives.

Matteo Casali · Brian Azzarello · Giuseppe Camuncoli · Jim Lee Batman: Europa was a miniseries that was announced in 2005, but was not scheduled for publication until 2011. After playing a hunch, he begs Bane not to kill Joker, and he laments the fact that Batman cannot live without his greatest enemy. Who infected Batman, what does the Clown Prince of Crime know, and how will the Dark Knight get that information? This week, all four issues of Batman: Europa are finally being released as a hardcover (or digitally for your Kindle).No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. Auch die Gegner oder die Kämpfe sind nichts Außergewöhnliches und wirken durch ihre Größe imposanter als sie eigentlich sind. Die vier Teile der Geschichte sind allesamt gleich aufgebaut, weswegen die Spannung der Schnitzeljagd stetig abnimmt. It was written by Brian Azzarello with art by Italian artists whom Jim Lee had met while traveling there. Just when it feels like they’re going through the motions, one of them will pull out a genuinely hilarious one-liner or chilling observation.

Otherwise, the more casual reader can probably skip it—unless you want to see a beautiful portrait of Europe through two very demented perspectives. Batman’s face tells us well enough that he’s stymied (and the stuttering “I…” is more than sufficient). The artwork though is the real star of the book, as it was always meant to be, and that’s the reason to check this one out.I had initially planned to pick up Batman: Europa in single issues, but decided not to once I discovered that Jim Lee would only be drawing the first issue. But the ending was a boring cocktease and the art vacillated between eerie and beautiful and just plain muddled and confusing. This is one a Batman fan will enjoy, but people who like interesting art will also find something to appreciate in this. Due to the focus of Batman-Joker ethos, this is as much a psychological study as it is an international mystery.
