Gotham has a new creative team. And it's glorious!
The Good
Well, firstly can I give some love to my canadian brother Francis Manapul! Goodness! What glorious artwork! I loved so much the panel layouts in the Flash and now that passes on to a great Batman book. I love the panels as Batman swings through Gotham.
The story is great. I feel like it is a perfect story for Detective Comics. I like that it picks up the ties from the Zero Year Flash issue. It ties in nicely and I totally could get behind a thing like this happening in Gotham.
The colors are a nice touch too. Its a really sleek and almost mild look to Gotham, compared to how it looks in Snyder's Batman. It is a nice change.
The Bad
There are some people that I don't really dig, the design of them. I feel like the bicker dudes don't really belong in Gotham. I didn't like Mr. Squid either.
The Verdict
Another Batman book that I can read. Perfect. I loved what Manapul and Buccelato did with the Flash so I am totally on board! I will be faithful until they switch to something else. I hope these guys have a lot of stories ready to go for Batman.
Everything is awesome.
