The Teacher Who Laughs reviewed DCeased Collected Apr 28, 2020
I ate this volume up, pun intended! My only negative about this event was the "look at your cell phone and you become a zombie", reminded me of the cheesy Japenese horror movies from the late 90s early 2000s. The ebb and flow of the events in the book had a great rhythm; it wasn't too wordy nor convoluted.
What happens to the World's Finest if the world ends? With death spreading across the planet, who will live and who will turn in this apocalyptic tale of heroism, sacrifice and annihilation? Fighting time, each other and all of humanity, Earth's greatest heroes must rally together for what may very well be their last chance to save the world from t...
The Teacher Who Laughs reviewed Batman Vol. 9: Bloom Apr 28, 2020
My complaint from the previous issue to bring Bruce back too soon is my opposite critique for this issue, seemed Bruce coming back as Batman took too long to bring back. The twist at the end with the "Black Sun" was a bit confusing. Otherwise, Capullo again has amazing art and Mr. Bloom was a great sinister villain. Snyder was my first intro to Batman in comic form and he did not disappoint. Great more

The Teacher Who Laughs reviewed Batman Vol. 8: Superheavy Apr 28, 2020
I was so pumped to see a change-up in the Batman dynamic; Iron Man Batman! The art and coloring is fantastic as always. Mr. Bloom is a great character and adds to the ominous Gotham rogues gallery that Snyder has created. The only gripe about the volume is I think Snyder brought Bruce back way too quickly.

The Teacher Who Laughs reviewed Batman Vol. 7: Endgame Apr 28, 2020
Now this is how you write an epic battle between joker and Batman. Next to dceased, this story is my second favorite epidemic type story that DC has put out; very scary and believable. Capullo was born to draw the darker side of Batman and he is at his prime in this volume. The “Metal” aspect to the story can be a little convoluted but it’s still a great thrill ride.
/vol-7-endgame-TP_small.jpg)
The Joker is back in these stories from BATMAN #35-40! For years, The Joker has regarded Batman with a sick, twisted love. But now, the Clown Prince of Crime is done playing.

The Teacher Who Laughs reviewed Batman Vol. 3: Death Of The Family Apr 28, 2020
Snyder knows how to write one of the most frightening and tricky Joker in the history of the character; he has no face for gods sake! My only gripe is that the name of the title expects there to be a death and it’s reused from an older story. Capullo continues to impress with his art!
/vol-3-death-of-the-family-TP_small.jpg)
After having his face sliced off, The Joker makes his horrifying return to Gotham City in this epic from issues #13-17 that shook Batman to his core! But even for a man whos committed a lifetime of murder, hes more dangerous than ever before. How can Batman protect his city and those hes closest to?This new hardcover features an acetate dust jacket...
The Teacher Who Laughs reviewed Batman Vol. 2: The City Of Owls Apr 28, 2020
The court of owls volume was stronger than this second volume since the set up doesn’t seem to be as well as executed for a climax. I loved the world building but to me the ending wasn’t as climatic as I was expecting; especially from all the hype.
But overall a great read and start for this Batman run.
/vol-2-the-city-of-owls-TP_small.jpg)

The Teacher Who Laughs reviewed Batman Vol. 1: The Court Of Owls Apr 28, 2020
Snyder starts off his Batman run strongly with the court. He creates an ominous group of villains that rewrites the history of Gotham. Capullo art is the best in business too.
/vol-1-the-court-of-owls-TP_small.jpg)
In this new trade paperback, a series of brutal murders rocks not only Gotham City to its core but also the Caped Crusader himself when the prime suspect is one of Batmans closest allies: Dick Grayson! Collects BATMAN #1-7!
