Batman Vol. 1: I Am Gotham
by Tom King
I'll tell you what, when D.C. Comics launched their New 52 line back in 2011, I was totally cool with it. I had always wanted to get into some of the superhero titles but was afraid to because of their long histories and my unwillingness to spend thousands of dollars and hours catching up. So I started in New 52 and was reading about five titles including both Batman and The Dark Knight and I really enjoyed them. Then came yet another re-launch with D.C. Rebirth last year and I just couldn't do it. If I were one of the writers/artists from New 52 or the long-running series prior to that, I'd feel like another reboot is just a slap in the face. Like D.C. saying, "We don't like what you've done so we're negating it entirely." So I held off reading ANY of the titles. But I'd heard some good things about Batman and decided, once I found it at the library, to give it a shot. And it's not bad.
Basically, a brother/sister crime fighting duo named Gotham and Gotham Girl (why he couldn't have appended "Boy" to his name to at least keep things equal is beyond me) are returning home to finish what Batman hasn't been able to... the crime problem. But, let's just say, things go awry. You know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men, right? Give it a shot if you haven't already. I don't know if I'll keep going, but this one collected edition was good.
