Much of that monologue narration has to do with the awfulness of crime, or how losing his parents shaped him as it will Marcus, the young boy in the story. While this provided context for the story, it was also quite banal, unfortunately. El arte es absolutamente asombroso. Todas las páginas del libro son páginas de inicio tan detalladas que cada una parece una historia aparte y agregan muchísimo a cada párrafo.

Batman: War on Crime comic | Read Batman - ReadComicOnline

There are two big conundrums in this story. The first is Batman wanting to make sure that the boy who survived the shooting, Marcus, doesn't fall into crime. The second is Bruce Wayne discovering from another wealthy acquaintance that the neighborhood Marcus lives in is prime real estate for the super rich. The man basically wants to gentrify the neighborhood, force the old residents out, and use it to build premium housing. Dini's writing and Ross's artwork are nice but too on the nose. They tie together Bruce and his Batman persona well, but there are no plot twists, superheroeic high stakes, or deep character insights that would raise this to one of the best Batman origin stories. Still, it works, and it would be a good place to start if it hadn't been told a thousand times already.War Crimes is a comic book crossover storyline published by DC Comics. The event ran during the month of August 2005 in the Batman and Detective Comics series, and is the sequel to another Batman crossover, War Games. Batman will always be my favorite superhero. He just stirs up so many thoughts within me, I find his character so compelling and interesting (and it doesn't hurt that he has some of the best villains too), and at the same time, he is a very tragic figure, just a boy who misses his parents. What makes this comic so interesting is its simple depiction of what happens when you dedicate your life to fighting crime to cope with your grief. Its a theme not enough comics cover, and I think its a missed opportunity. What kind of impact does that lifestyle have on a man? Can he ever overcome his pain? Nachdem mich „Superman – Friede auf Erden“ inhaltlich als auch optisch mächtig begeisterte, freute ich mich nun darauf ein ebenso faszinierendes Comic-Erlebnis mit Batman zu haben. Sprechblasen sucht man hier vergebens, Batmans Beschreibungen sind in Kästchen am Rand der wundervollen Gemälde von Ross. Viel Text gibt es dennoch nicht, die Zeichnungen sprechen hier für sich. The gentrifying neighborhood is easy as well. He works as Batman to lower the crime rate in the area, then invests money into the people who live there himself. He's even told that in reopening old businesses that had shut down and giving these people a new chance at a safer life his profits are going to be razor thin. But not everything is about profits, and Bruce Wayne is every big as capable of improving people's lives as Batman is when saving them. It's just a really nice story overall and definitely my favorite of the bunch (Though again as of this writing I haven't read the Shazam story that may change!)

Para un cómic sin burbujas de diálogo ni villano específico, hace un trabajo maravilloso, si no el mejor, al profundizar en la mente de Batman. Dini hace un trabajo tan bueno que cuando narra en primera persona parece que Bruce es una persona real. Me gusta que acá sea ambos personas, no solo Batman. Genre superhero Characters Batman [Bruce Wayne] (origin); Thomas Wayne (death); Martha Wayne (death) Synopsis A short retelling of the origin of Batman. Reprints This was the storyline to ignite the Girl-Wonder -project to promote betterment of treatment of female characters in mainstream comics, after the unfortunately brutal demise of Batman's third Robin, Stephanie Brown (aka Spoiler, as seen in Robin comics for a decade before her Robin gig). Marcus does fall into crime. It's almost an inevitability given his situation. No parents, living in a bad neighborhood. There's nothing he can do to stop it. And there's one fantastic moment in here that I won't spoil where Batman manages to talk Marcus down before he does something he'd regret. It's very nice, and the first nice bit that proves not all confrontations require violence to solve. urn:oclc:record:1348897120 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier batmanwaroncrime0000ross Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s2bzpwsjhbh Invoice 1652 Isbn 1563895765 Lccn 00711423 Ocr tesseract 5.2.0-1-gc42a Ocr_detected_lang en Ocr_detected_lang_conf 1.0000 Ocr_detected_script Cyrillic Ocr_detected_script_conf 0.8277 Ocr_module_version 0.0.18 Ocr_parameters -l eng Old_pallet IA-NS-0001364 Openlibrary_editionSure, violence could solve these problems. Should Marcus join one of the many active gangs around his neighborhood all Batman would have to do is run up and punch him to solve that problem. And if Bruce doesn't like the idea of gentrifying the neighborhood, he could just as easily punch the guy who presented the offer to him. I’m very glad I read this, it shows you that superhero stories are not only cgi, jokes or epic battles with incredibly powerfull villains. There are not always saving the entire planet, sometimes there are here for you, to give you a hug and say that everything is going to be alright.

I read three Paul Dini / Alex Ross books today and this was the third! They'll be short ones since they're all very light on plot and more an excuse to give you gorgeous Alex Ross art to gawk at as he depicts these characters. Batman: War on Crime is a treasury giant prestige format graphic novel published by DC Comics in November 1999. The work is the second in a series of collaborations between artist Alex Ross and writer Paul Dini, following Superman: Peace on Earth. The comic received both a Harvey and Eisner Award, two of the comics industry's highest honors. For a comic without any speech bubbles nor specific villain it does a wonderful, if not the best job at delving into Batman's mind. Dini does such a good job that when he's narrating in first person it feels like Bruce is a real person. I like that he's both personas here, not just Batman. The comic does not have an answer to this question, but by depicting a simple case of Batman trying to clean up a particular part of Gotham City, these moral questions are raised, alongside his overall legacy and impact, and if he can be a hero. This might be one of the saddest Batman comics I've ever read, as his interactions with a young boy are heartbreaking but very touching. In any other hands this could be cliché and overblown, but Paul Dini and Alex Ross know all you need is a simple look from one character, and you've got all the tragedy or hope you need. Paul Dini and Alex Ross really understand the character in and out of costume and that’s why they delivere one of the best Graphic Novels about the Caped crusader.report information) Script Alex Ross (story); Paul Dini (story & text) Pencils Alex Ross (painted) Inks Alex Ross (painted) Colors Alex Ross (painted) Letters typeset Andersen Gabrych and Bill Willingham are credited for writing the series and for the most part, I rather enjoyed the narrative. However, as a Robin lover, I did not like the storyline that Dr Leslie Thompkins could have saved Stephanie Brown's life, but chooses not to, because she wanted to teach Batman a lesson – not to approve and encourage teenagers to become vigilantes – to fight his war on crime. Dini und Ross präsentieren einen Comic, der aufzeigt, dass Superheldengeschichten nicht nur aus Spaß, Witzen, abenteuerlichen Schlachten und mächtigen Schurken bestehen muss.
