Good ideas are waiting to be discovered. Quite how an idea this good slipped the net for so long almost defies belief. Take a slew of industry legends, give them a dark, brooding comics icon, an eight-page limit and the stipulation that the art be solely black and white. The combustive result? Without doubt the finest, most incisive, eclectic and magnificent exploration of Batman for many years. In these 20 tales, Batman's world is expertly, lovingly rendered, from his Thirties beginnings to the far future, taking in the myth, the psychology and the vivid elements that have transformed him into a pop culture icon. In Ted McKeever's "Perpetual Mourning" Batman conducts an autopsy on a slain innocent, allowing the memory to live on inside him--"the ones I'll mourn forever". A wishful, deluded loner plans Batman's murder in Brian Bolland's astonishingly beautiful "An Innocent Guy". Batman entwines gracefully with Noir in Bruce Timm's Two-Face tale "Two of a Kind" and Matt Wagner's "Heist". Things get surreal as Neil Gaiman collaborates with the explosive stylings of Simon Bisley in "A Black and White World" in which Batman and The Joker are mere actors, whose blood-thirsty feud is endlessly interrupted by script re-writes. Yet, the finest is the wonderful "Heroes" drawn by Gary Gianni and written by the late Archie Goodwin--an exhilarating pulp tale in which the Dark Knight foils a Nazi plot. Lush, wondrous and capturing the essence of Batman in a way that a two-year story arc could only dream of. Unmissable. --Danny Graydon --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.
