Nightwing injustice 24/1/2023 Instead, I find that it helps flesh out this world and when put in conjunction with all of Silvestri’s previous “history lessons” this vision of Gotham takes shape very well. This issue provides even more Gotham backstory, this time regarding unfinished subway tunnels and the societal lore of a cathedral. The buildup to the reveal is well executed and despite not being the most brilliant mystery tale of all time it’s great to see Batman actually doing some level of detective work in this series. That’s because it feels very earned to me. So now with that out of the way, let’s get into some specifics!Īmanda Simms is the real villain! Now I can’t say I didn’t see it coming (the cover solicitations of upcoming issues made it pretty hard to miss if you hadn’t guessed already) but I don’t really mind. WildC.A.T.s has been a great time so far! Perhaps you’d enjoy DC’s upcoming AAPI heritage books?Īnyways, these are just thoughts that this issue provoked in me and I felt they were worth sharing because I want to see more comics that provoke the kind of response The Deadly Duo does. Try something else! Maybe something that wouldn’t usually be on your radar. Likewise, we should not continue to read other titles out of some sense of collector’s obligation. So when it is presented to us we should be making it very clear to DC that we enjoy it. This is the kind of quality that we as comic fans are always asking for. Sure, some people are just tired of Joker and that’s valid but it seems that, in general, the story itself has been greeted with almost unanimous approval. Even popular titles like Ram V’s Detective Comics have a share of dissenters but I have yet to find any notable complaints about the quality of this title. Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo is a great comic. In addition, for every series you drop, you now have the financial ability to try reading a different title. It’s that mentality that leads to widely despised comics selling well. That’s the kind of behavior we as readers need to stop. I’ve bought whole runs that I hated just because I didn’t want a “hole” in my collection. I know I have all too often been a victim of my desire to “collect them all” (something I think many of us have experienced). If the first couple of issues are bad, drop the book. No, that doesn’t mean I think you should pirate them. This prompts me to send out a little public service announcement: Don’t buy comics you don’t like. The only way DC’s publications as a whole will get any better is if we, the readers, let them know what we like and what we don’t. I think it’s important to pick out those books that do connect with people and give them praise. However, just because DC’s current lineup of titles is not the strongest doesn’t mean they don’t publish anything of quality. Given a lot of the discourse I’ve heard recently, it seems that many people consider the present to be one of those times. Sometimes it seems that there is more bad than good coming out of big companies like DC. The series has been very successful so far but does this issue maintain that trend? Let’s see! Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo is heating up! Now that we’re getting closer to the end, answers to our questions are beginning to surface and the stage is being set for an explosive finale.
