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

Product Information

However, by the time the narrative wraps, a dark twist ensues that proves the Dark Knight will never win his crusade. 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. I’m a big fan of Batman - my favorite DC character - and I’ve only gotten into the world of comic/illustrated reading so I hadn’t seen any of the art before.

This issue is primarily a showcase of the art of Lee Bermejo and every page of art is brilliantly designed and filled with bold, beautiful detail. Bermejo ist ein Ausnahmekünstler, der für mich die besten Batman Zeichnungen abliefert, sie sind düster und wirken realistisch.

Also, his realistic style suits a character without superpowers dressed in a uniform slugging it out with grotesque versions of psychopathy – a fact he clearly understands in the way he's written the letter in Dear Detective.

Batman: Dear Detective is going to be a divisive comic book because it's neither a true comic book nor an art book, exactly, but tries to land somewhere between the two concepts. 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! However, by the time the book closes, the keyword that's left to decode revealed the identity of the author.So scattered throughout the book are random pages where someone has written a strange, rambling letter to Batman. 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. I’ve been of the opinion for a while that if the movies are ABSOLUTELY committed to the idea that Batman has to wear body armor and be “realistic”, they should just look to Bermejo’s art. 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. He even draws my favorite realistic Batman suit because of how tactical it looks while still feeling like the kind of suit Batman would use to strike and deliver fear into the hearts of Gotham City's underworld.

A collection of Lee Bermejo cover illustrations done for Batman comics cleverly presented as a story with interstitial pages of a letter to Batman from one of his enemies. There's a degree of psycho-analysis present that gives the impression this Riddler knows Batman the best.It's a simple story (and quite good), but the presentation is wonderful and that's enough for this book to please me. 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. After all, no matter what happens, the rogues always end up back out, nodding to Joker, Penguin, Clayface, etc.

Crime damaged him in the alley with his parents, and even outside the rogues, petty crime and that sinful mentality won't change due to humanity's selfish nature, making this quite a nihilistic read. This story's quite thought-provoking as the character teases how they're a "monster, thief, murderer and psychopath. It's a unique story, with riddles in between the covers, taunting the Bat to evoke the kind of haunting, tense mood fans saw recently in Matt Reeves' The Batman. Between this parts the covers attempt to tell a story without words; and whilst it does work to begin with if you're not looking too close the seams really start to show later on.Mich hatte der Band schon mit dem unfassbar genialen Cover Artwork, das mit Spotlack veredelt wurde. Once more, it appears the Riddler was poking fun at that existential dread within Batman and how he'll never see success, despite trying to become the embodiment of justice.
