The over-sized celebration for Detective Comics delivers a monster win for readers. Each tale delves into different aspects that compose Gothams leading protector. It isnt a straight forward superhero issue, nor should it be. Readers will be very pleased with the visions detailed by every art team. They bring out the strengths of each writers work. The chapter leaves no doubt on why Batman has been a staple for 1100 issue and for many more to come. Read Full Review
Overall, this is a strong installment that really shows off a different side of Gotham. Read Full Review
This is a fantastic comic book. Taylor and Janin especially brought a sense of sincerity to Batman that I very much need right now. In addition, Greg Rucka chose the right setting and subject matter that works to his strengths. Tamaki may have been a slightly weaker link, but her story has genuine potential if Connor McMannnor shows up again to give Bruce a hard time. Lastly, Watters swung for the fences with his darker story, but managed to land in a pretty neat place. Overall, this is a must read for Batman fans, if I say so myself. Read Full Review
A brilliantly focused and entertaining story from Watters with breathtaking imagery from Sienkiewicz. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #1100 is a commendable anthology that celebrates the world's greatest detective with an anthology that highlights Batman's impact on the everyday people of Gotham City. This comic isn't flawless, but each story is at least good enough to enjoy, and the artwork is worth the cover price. Read Full Review
I really enjoyed this issue. Each mini story were amazing. The art was also very good. 10/10
LOST AND FOUND
A silent story but it's heart speaks volumes. One of the very best Bat stories I've read in years. Taylor & Janin are sensational.
YOU'RE ROLE IN COMMUNITY
Easily the one to forget. Joker vs Bat/Press vs Wayne. It's been many times over - and better.
THE KNIFE AND GUN CLUB
The art is iffy, but Rucka's story of two Doctor's talking is fantastic.
FALL
The story is iffy but Sienkiewicz's art of a murderous suicider is fantastic.
Near perfect grouping of stories. These anniversary/milestone issues usually have a good story or two in them but rarely do all the stories and art land.
This was actually one of the better anniversary Detective Comics we had. My favorite is Tom Taylor's story, but I think Greg Rucka's Batman story was the best one out there. Mariko Tamaki was a little confusing, but overall I enjoyed this.
The Taylor and Rucka stories were absolutely sensational both with art and writing! I liked the other stories quite a bit as well, considering I’m not a big fan of Watters or Tamaki. I was a bit underwhelmed by this anniversary issue compared to previous milestone centennial issues, where you’d often find additional pin-ups by great artists as well as an occasional essay or two. Still, a really really good read for fans old and new!
Overall a solid anniversary issue.
The Watters story was very 90s Batman. Which isn’t a bad thing.
