The ending was for sure a nail biter! I liked this a lot!

This is a solid start to a Batman story. I appreciate the set-up, the way Batman used his team and his tools to handle the disaster. The threats still in the shadows. The touching close. Finally, the cliff-hanger ending. Despite the previous one-shot setting up this (and my doubts) this turned out to be exactly what I want in a Batman story.Merged review:This is a solid start to a Batman story.

I just gotta say, what the f? Batman #1 was a great issue and I liked it a lot. But seriously, though, what the heck was that at the end? I mean, it started out all serious, got kinda gloomy, then all of a sudden that bit at the end happened and now I'm just here laughing at Batman's expression. I am Gotham :-))))))

Tom King has some interesting ideas, maybe a little over the top, but entertaining nonetheless. Overall I wasn't impressed especially with the writing. It maybe because he follows Snyder, there was no sense of urgency or threat that Snyder does so well, then again it's the first issue. The final page didn't impress me either but left me thinking it was still an enjoyable issue.

Happy Batman Day, everyone! To celebrate, DC have kindly made the first issue of the new Tom King/David Finch Rebirth Batman available for free on Comixology - it’s got a new cover but it’s really just this issue. Though the quality tapered off towards the end, Scott Snyder’s Batman run is definitely up there with the best if only for Death of the Family and Zero Year. So Grayson co-writer Tom King has a lot to live up to by picking up where he left off - and actually he doesn’t do a bad job, at...

Love the ending! Very promising :) Kind of annoyed he is called Gotham but she is called Gotham Girl though...

Maybe it's just because I had heard somebody things and wasn't expecting much, but I really liked this issue, I thought it was a fantastic kick off to this series. It had the B.A. Batman I've come to desire and a lot of emotional weight.

Special thanks to my goodreads pal Sam Quixote for reviewing this first so I could find the link. I learned a couple of days ago when I went to my local comic book store that today is Batman Day. One of my friends is really into Batman, so I wanted to get her the free comic for her birthday, but the man at the store was nice enough to give me two copies. Hence, said to myself, "seems like a fun idea to review it."So with that in mind, in honor of Batman day, I'm taking my first stab at a review...

Well, that is an interesting ending idea. I like the reactions of the people in the plane. That crazy guy was pretty good.

I thought that Batman #1 picks up after the one-shot Batman Rebirth issue. Fortunately, it isn't! This one is a continuation of Snyder and Capullo's epic New52 Batman run. Do you need to read the New52 Batman series? It is not necessary, but I highly recommend that you start there. The New52 Batman series is one of the few things that came out great from that era.Unlike Detective Comics, Batman comics is obviously a Bat-centric series, and here we see what the Caped Crusader can do. If you look

RebirthThe Batmobile looks a lot like the one in the animated series. I love it. There are a couple of JL references. I love that they reference the DCU. I'm sure you have seen the new Batsuit by now. I think the colors look great. The final panel reveals two new spoilers.

For once, an issue better than the one shot!! Still, not my most favorite Rebirth issue, but it was entertaining. I wonder how permanent Gotham and Gotham Girl are going to be... they don't seem to be as... lasting to me as the Court of Owls was, but I guess only time will tell.Also, is Duke a Robin/Robin-esque sidekick or not?? I am very confused with his character now. I know he was a part of the Robin War gig, but is that even a thing anymore?

The twist at the end is the only thing that saves this issue. After the Rebirth issue I'm feeling pretty meh about King's new run, but it's still early. Batman essentially surfs a 747 to prevent the deaths of everyone inside and there's huge emphasis on the fact that he'll die. There is even an cringe-worthy "would my mom and dad be proud of me, Alfred?" But hello? This is the FIRST ISSUE. We know he's gonna be fine? So there's zero tension throughout the entire story until we're met with Gotham...

This was actually pretty cool. I'm biased in favor of Tom King, having loved Vision and Sheriff of Babylon (not Grayson, however, but that may require a reread). His style is very exact and detail-oriented, which I think translates well to the World's Greatest Detective. This, like most superhero comics, is total hyperbole. A jumbo jet is going down in Gotham and guess who has to stop it? I know. Totally ridiculous. But that's just a measure of how insanely skilled and brave the man really is. I...

Really enjoyed this issue! So don't wanna say much about the story otherwise I'm spoiling, but what will say is that's its very good! David Finch's artwork is awesome as always, pretty different to his previous works, its got a more rougher look, it reminded me a little bit of The Dark Knight Returns!

This was a promising first issue for the start of a run. I thought Tom King started off strong on and Batman, and ended strong as well, bringing it everything to a full circle. Looking back, the excitement was well deserved.

Wow, what a great issue for just Batman. It was him at his finest and with no prep time and being gadget friendly too. He'll truly do his best to save as many life from a plane on a collision course with a crowded park. What if someone else could do it better? Batmans story to looks towards Gotham having with new guardians protecting Gotham and who just might be 'super' enough for the job. Can they share Gotham or is there something more behind these new figures of 'Gotham' and 'Gotham Girl'?

I loved this! a very impressive Batman who does and thinks and sees (yes, he observed the clock, just might take him an issue or two to determine it matters). Great lines -- including humorous, imperative, wondrous, and sorrowful. I find nothing missing here...though for the continued quality of this rebirth beginning and this particular arc, much rides on what is done next, with several threads. I sincerely hope they keep it up!

My fave #1 post-Rebirth so far. Really excited to see where King takes the character and really impressed by the art so far.http://pop-break.com/2016/06/15/revie...

This issue was awesome, I'm really happy with it. The artwork wasn't anything special (pretty good, but not my thing) but it actually felt right and I'm now more optimistic about the direction the story's going. WHATS WITH MR & MS GOTHAM THO ??? (please let that be just an arc x3)
