That intense stylistic focus on a Batman worn by time and loss is compelling, especially when Taylor ruminates on Bruce's personal tragedies, specifically the recent loss of Alfred. Batman solving immediate problems through cleverness and skill is a consistently rewarding arrangement, and Kubert delivers those problems and solutions with all of the scars, sweat, and grit they require. It's an excellent bit of storytelling from start to finish centered on this series' titular focus.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 BATMAN: THE DETECTIVE #4įocus returns to the mystery at hand in Batman: The Detective #4 with a juicy opening interrogation sequence packed with details and tension. Overall, this is a fantastic book and a really lovely "Superman" story. The book's art is also very well done, representing a range of Superman descendants and family with a realistic richness and even with the book swapping artists (Siya Oum does one part, Scott Godlewski does another), it's seamless. Perhaps the finest feature of the story, however, is that it truly captures the "hope" aspect of the House of El in a way that demonstrates Johnson's respect for and deep understanding of Superman mythology and lore. Byla, which is very interesting and works so well. It also feels very much like the story is laying groundwork for something bigger with Mr. While it sounds like this could be a confusing concept as you're dealing with the crossing of multiple timelines in terms of storytelling, the book manages to keep things very well streamlined and even maintains believable connections to the current Action Comics storyline - which is no small feat. The story then becomes a tale of how those House of El members find their way back. Byla telling a story of the future to the children, a story of how Pyrrhos, the son of Kal-El and Circe (a character that I still have some questions about but serves as a good plot device in this story) crashes a House of El wedding, sending members of the House of El to the Phantom Zone. This week's Action Comics Annual 2021 #1 revisits the Future State: House of El timeline with an all-new "Tales of the House of El", and while "annual" issues of comics can sometimes be a mixed bag of things, this one is fantastic.
