Perhaps poor judgment on my part, but this was not the best book to pick up for one who's only beginning to learn the mythology of Batman. Though most of the installments within are okay, this compilation ruins many surprises, as you find out the various men who have been the Caped Crusader, and why they are not Bruce Wayne. Maybe I could enjoy this more if I was more knowledgeable about the back stories.
This is a stupid collection. This book basically collects various issues from 1993 to the present, that have no unifying story, but are similar in the fact that each issue is a story of someone being Batman who is not Bruce Wayne. So what you get here is a collection of individual scenes from other stories. Ridiculous!! This is a serious waste of money.
a group of tales about "other" batmans. interesting to fill in some holes in my bat-awareness, but the teen titans story made virtually no sense to me, and i am omitting it from my four star rating. otherwise, and enjoyable read, though probably not too informative for the more versed in the batman catalog. and bill willingham writing batman tales? yes please!
A collection of stories about Batman...when he isn't actually Batman. This might be because an imposter is wearing the Batman costume, or because Bruce Wayne has had to get someone to stand in for him, or because it's set in the future, but it's all about Batman when it's not Bruce under the cowl.It's a mixed bag; it depends on your favourite incarnation of the Batman legend as to which story you will enjoy. The Jean Paul Valley story I'd already read in the Bane story arc, so that was a repeat
La verdad que no tengo ni idea de si leí alguno de los capítulos que componen este tomo, pero espero por los autores que veo en la lista, seguro valga la pena. Con suerte se edite en castellano en algún momento, con suerte vaya encontrando números en inglés o el tomo a un precio no prohibitivo.
As a fan of batman and fables i wanted to see what to read the Bill Willingham story he did for this. I wasn't well prepared that it wasn't a hole, but more like individual stories with a same theme. Still a fun read, but would have liked it more to cover a story ark + after already have read Knightfall i already knew 2 of the stories.
This isn't really a graphic novel, just a collection of assorted issues that have dealt with a similar theme. In this case, a Batman who is not Bruce Wayne. There's a decent variety here, but they're not all winners, and you can almost certainly read these stories elsewhere, in context. For some of them, that's probably essential. The Teen Titans story left me more confused than anything, because it obviously came towards the end of what must have been a pretty extensive storyline. There's two s...
Rehash of previously printed stories from other TPB...Batman and Son, Batman: Knightfall Pt.2, Batman: Prodigal, Batman Begins: The Movie & Other Tales of the Dark Knight, Teen Titans: The Future is Now. Only the Batman Beyond story was new.
A decent collection of stories in which Bruce Wayne, for some reason or another, is unable to be Batman and someone else stands in for him. Some were stronger than others, with my favorite being Bill Willingham's contribution.Either way, it was worth it just to see Bruce Wayne beat the crap out of a thug while wheelchair bound, armed with just a stick. These were hit and miss, however.
The title of this could have contained a few more words and it really should have read- Which Batman Is Under the Cowl Today? The premise of the graphic novel is that Batman has become injured, breaking his back, he may never come back but Gotham needs Batman, but which one? Each chapter has a different person under the cowl. I felt like it was a step back in time and I was watching Michael Keaton in Multiplicity. Is it the macho Batman or the more reserved kinder Batman?There are various writer...
A pretty good collection of Batman stories wherein different writers take turns re-imagining the essence of Batman via men other than Bruce Wayne wearing the cape & cowl. Includes alternate futures where the Teen Titans have grown in despotic versions of the "grown up" heroes, two different times when Bruce Wayne hand picks a "successor" to stand in for him while he's unable to be the Bat, a "Batman Beyond" story & more.
A collection of stories that features some of the characters that have filled in for Batman. Like when he's incapacitated or on a Bat-cruise.The writing and art in this book covers a wide range of styles and time frames. A good choice for fans but others might not understand that they are reading about a replacement Batman.NotesA 'Batman Beyond' story is included.Learning CurveModerate: New readers will likely be confused by multiple Bat-personalities.
The issues collected here are not bad, but most are not standalone, so in some cases you have no idea what is happening or why.It is a solid sampler of stories that feature different Batmans, but nothing more than that.
