About this deal

Each international version of Batman: The World will also feature its own unique cover art by the local creative team. International publishing and distribution partners include Urban Comics (France), ECC Ediciones (Spain), Panini (Italy, Brazil, Germany), CREW (Czech Republic), Azbooka-Atticus (Russia), Egmont Polska (Poland), JBC (Turkey), Editorial Televisa (Mexico, Central America), Sigongsa (Korea), Starfish Media (China), and Shopro (Japan). 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. 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. 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: The whole story is narrated by Batman, we get to spend some days with him and see things the way he does. There isn’t a single speech bubble, yet there are so many things said.

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. Harvey Awards Best Graphic Album of Original Work, Batman: War on Crime by Paul Dini and Alex Ross, edited by Charles Kochman and Joey Cavalieri (DC) [3] Dini erzählt eine Geschichte ohne Action, aber mit viel Herz und Seele. Ross, einer der besten Künstler im Comicbereich meiner Meinung nach, hat jede Seite dieses Werkes harmonisch und passend zur jeweiligen Stimmung gemalt, er verleiht der Geschichte zusätzliche Tiefe. There's another rich guy who serves as a moral foil for Bruce, and I guess this urban development sub-plot did serve to accentuate Bruce's good character and integrity. 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.

He sacrificado mucho para llegar a ser Batman. Mi riqueza me permite tener privacidad, crucial para la supervivencia de mis dos identidades. Pero ¿Qué clase de hombre habría llegado a ser si las cosas hubieran sido distintas?"

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 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. 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.

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.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!) 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.

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.
