    Ridley crafts a thoughtful narrative that deals with racism, skepticism, and classism. Read Full Review

    I Am Batman keeps improving. Ridley is starting to find the ideal approach to make Jaces Batman stand on his own and its making for a vastly more interesting read. Read Full Review

    Dark Knight News - Derek McNeil Mar 12, 2022

    Ridley's story is showing us how Jace is proving himself and growing into the role of Batman and this is best done out of Bruce's shadow. Putting Jace in a different, but not entirely dissimilar city allows the new Dark Knight to establish himself with minimal reliance on Bruce's reputation. Ridley's story is an interesting deconstruction of the character that asks if one has to be Bruce Wayne to succeed as a Batman. It's an intriguing premise and I look forward to seeing how it plays out as Jace's saga continues. Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Brooke Mar 8, 2022

    I Am Batman is a tantalizing Batman book because it's allowed to do things differently. On top of a different type of city, Jace is trying not to be just another Batman, but something more and something that suits him. Add in the political elements the modern feel of New York, and you have yourself a pressure cooker of a story that does the rare thing of feeling like an evolved Batman. Read Full Review

    COMICON - Scott Redmond Mar 10, 2022

    ‘I Am Batman' handles the social and political commentary well with each issue, while it seems to be struggling a bit still to actually build a solid foundation of a world/social structure or more for Jace Fox in his new life. Cops and Batman have a very long iffy history and this series adds its own take on the matter. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Eric Shea Mar 8, 2022

    While some may see I Am Batman as just another Bat-title or even a Bat impersonator, this series is doing something very clever in showing a different kind of Batman that still brings interesting concepts and moral conundrums in Jace's attempt to be the best Batman he can be but still being true to himself. The art in this issue is really great and the story just keeps getting more and more interesting. Read Full Review

    But Why Tho? - Collier "CJ" Jennings Mar 8, 2022

    I Am Batman #7continues to have artistic issues, but it's doing a fine job of separating Jace Fox from Bruce Wayne when it comes to being Batman. With Jace set to receive a new enemy, I look forward to seeing more of his Batman adventures, but hopefully, this series picks an artist and sticks with it. Read Full Review
