Another New 52 review has been posted! This week I looked at Batman #1 for PopMatters.com.
Batman #1 is one of the most anticipated titles of DC’s New 52. If not for the character itself, then for the creative team attached. It’s one of DC’s flagship titles, featuring the writing acumen of one of the hottest writers in comics currently. It cannot fail. Batman cannot fail.
Longtime readers should not be weary of the large and shiny “1” on the cover. This debut issue of Batman basically picks up where Batman #713 and Detective Comics 881 left off. The recent history and storylines stay fairly intact aside for some minor tweaking (how old are the current and former Robins?). It also continues a theme Snyder has been working with since his Detective Comics run and in the miniseries Batman: Gates of Gotham. Namely: Gotham City as a character herself.
