Batman (2016) #5

Aug 17, 2016

After a seemingly sluggish start to King's series, Part-5 was a welcomed, well-written ending that promises a hopeful future for the Batman series. King delivers a strong story that adds considerable (and needed) depth to Batman's character. Notably, King showcased the dynamic relationship between the Dark Knight and his beloved city. King managed to capture what Gotham, an endless, bottomless pit of vice and criminality, needs: a hero willing to save it no matter the cost. Over the past year, depictions of Batman in the film industry have shied from away from Batman's true character and his relationship with Gotham. Now, King has given us depth to this character as a hero willing to fix a hopeless, broken city despite the impossibilities surrounding this crusade. There is something incredibly heroic and tremendously depressing about King's Batman (and I am hooked). Give this a read if you can.
