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. You can see that these are real people with stories behind them. He treats every character like that, an old man walking, a couple dining on a restaurant or a doctor treating his patients. 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. Sure, 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.

Bruce is Batman not just because he's wealthy; he's Batman because he's refighting Crime Alley every night of his life, as this story emphasizes. The other guy is just a wealthy jerk who never suffered similar childhood trauma, it seems. Marcus lost his parents, but he doesn't have Bruce's wealth and so goes down a different path. Both characters serve as a contrast with Bruce, who acts as a do-gooder in both sides of his life. It's a total commitment. Many comics don't show this enough, because, you know, smoke bombs and Batarangs are cool. 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.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? 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.

Batman: War on Crime by Alex Ross | Goodreads

Por mucho que pueda valorarse la voluntad y determinación de Bruce Wayne en tanto pudo resistirse a la tentación de frivolidad cínica y casi orgánica de su propia casta social , inteligentemente presentada en el personaje de Randall Winters, lo cierto es que la existencia final de Batman hubiera sido impensable sin un enorme colchón económico detrás que brindase al menos la posibilidad de focalizar la ira de ese modo y poderlo mantener en el tiempo. Bruce es consciente de eso y reconoce de inmediato que hasta ese momento su labor de redención había sido guiada por los impulsos más "gratificantes" de su dolor, viendo en cada criminal golpeado un consumado Joe Chill del cual desquitarse pero... ¿ Qué espacio había reservado para las victimas en su cruzada? Bruce reconoce por fin que la lucha contra el crimen tiene dos partes y, un poco similar al mensaje de Superman: Paz en la tierra , la más importante de todas y justo la parte que estaba descuidando por sentirse más cómodo como criatura terrorífica que como símbolo de redención. Al final del día Gotham (o el mundo en el caso de Superman) no puede ser redimida a espaldas de sus habitantes y aunque Batman pueda nunca ver materializada su ambiciosa promesa de una ciudad sin crimen, si puede sumar pequeñas victorias morales y , en el caso de Batman, usar sus recursos para transformar las vidas de quienes podrían engrosar sus filas y ser Joe Chills a futuro. Coming across this on my GR recs today, I realize I might have a personal anecdote to share from the fandom / behind the scenes, concerning this particular storyline from some 12 years ago: Die ganze Geschichte wird von Batman erzählt, man verbringt einige Tage mit ihm und sieht die Dinge aus seiner Sicht. Bats seems to be wearing his original uniform from the 1940s; the briefs outside the tights stand out and are a little dated now compared to his usual combat-armor look. Nevertheless, it's one of those visual homages that Ross loves to throw in for its own sake, though I'm not always sure why.in Justice League: The World's Greatest Super-Heroes by Alex Ross and Paul Dini (DC, 2018 series) (2018 [February 2019])

in Absolute Justice League: The World's Greatest Superheroes by Alex Ross and Paul Dini (DC, 2017 series) (2017 [January 2018]) First Line of Dialogue or Text I buried my parents here when I was eight. Genre superhero Characters Batman [Bruce Wayne]; Alfred Pennyworth; Commissioner James Gordon; Randall Winters; Marcus Synopsis Batman helps a young kid, whose family has just been killed, from going down the wrong path. Reprints report information) Script Alex Ross (story); Paul Dini (story & text) Pencils Alex Ross (painted) Inks Alex Ross (painted) Colors Alex Ross (painted) Letters typeset 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. Batman: War Crimes collects: Detective Comics #809–810, Batman #643–644, Batman Allies Secret Files and Origins 2005, and Batman Villains Secret Files and Origins 2005.Batman: War on Crime is just a great story. My favorite of the group Paul Dini and Alex Ross did (Though I haven't read Shazam's book yet) and definitely asks the question I like most. While Wonder Woman's plot was focused on her learning to relate to mankind, and Superman's was him attempting to solve a problem too high and mighty for even himself, Batman's book presents the idea that not all problems need to be solved with violence. in DC Comics Graphic Novel Collection (Eaglemoss Publications, 2015 series) #119 - Die grössten Superhelden der Welt 1 ([June] 2017) 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!)

There aren't any "super" villains, there is no Joker, no Riddler, nor Penguin or Poison Ivy. Instead we get to see small criminals committing robberies and dealing drugs. Somehow this is worse, it feels real. In one of the robberies Batman will find a boy who lost both of his parents, he knows what the kid goes through, he can see himself in that boy. 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.
