Batman One Dark Knight

Product Information

metahumain aux pouvoirs électriques, d'Arkham à Blackgate ne se passe pas comme prévu et Gotham se retrouve dans le noir complet. Among Batman Black Label books that swiftly come to mind — Batman: Last Knight on Earth, Batman: Three Jokers, even Batman: Damned — Batman: One Dark Knight feels the least of these. Joining EMP is another new character, Rita Vasquez, the Head of the Prison Bureau of Gotham City, who conveniently happens to have major beef with EMP. Follow Batman as he traverses block by block across a pitch dark Gotham City while dragging a highly difficult E.

GCPD are preparing to transport a dangerous meta-villain from Arkham to Blackgate - but Gotham’s gangs have other plans. There’s enough overlap between the styles of Jock and Andrea Sorrentino that it feels One Dark Knight could sit comfortably on the shelf with the equally movie-friendly Batman: The Imposter, even as they present considerably different Batmen. One of the most iconic Batman artists of the 21st century, the incomparable Jock (The Batman Who Laughs, Batman: The Black Mirror), has focused all his storytelling powers on the tale of one very, very dark night in Gotham City. Gangs all around Gotham and set out to attack the prison convoy in an effort to either rescue or kill EMP.There were also a few points in the book where it wasn't clear to me what was going on, from a visual perspective. There is only one Batman villain from his rouge galley of villains, I will not say who because it was a fun surprise in the novel, but most villains are street-level gang members.

Jock's artwork is of course quite nice, but even then there are portions where it is quite apparent to my untrained eye that deadline crunch was felt. It’s also nice to see Batman focused on *protecting* a prisoner instead of just “making sure he’s contained/punished. The art is all blown up in the magazine-sized format, and the eventual hardcover will be well-worth any Jock fans' time.

Jock has also produced key art and concept design for films including Dredd, Annihilation, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and the Oscar-winning Ex Machina. While the writing doesn’t reach the emotion or even horror of Scott Snyder when he was writing Batman, Jock gets just the character and celebrates him in his own way through his always-great art and simple action-filled premise. The description for the book includes the mention of it being a sweltering summer night, which I felt was a confusing added descriptor since it isn't something that plays any relevance to the story. It’s like Jock was given too many pages and didn’t know how to properly utilize each one with his pre-written story, which feels especially weird for a seasoned artist as talented as Jock. However, Jock had a vision for this book, and he stuck to it all the way to the very end, and all things considered this is one hell of an achievement.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. If the action is decently managed the plot itself reads as a rulebook which isn’t very entertaining when you’ve read so many already. Its simply the story of Batman taking a criminal named EMP back to Blackgate in a blackout and well having to fight so many criminal and gangs and that fight with Killer croc was so cool and we learn who the villain is and when his child Brody comes into the pic and this woman named "Vasquez" also enters the scene and when all the pieces fit into place, its one of the most epic scenes of how Batman stops it and saves the day!Batman is alone and has to transport EMP 40 blocks and over a bridge to Blackgate Prison on the ground. The action is gnarly with a classic black-and-blue Batman being a brawler when it comes to the fights, especially his confrontation with Killer Croc where blood spurts out and our hero just looking battered and yet still manages to get up. And I would still recommend this to those who like Jock’s Batman art or street-level Batman tales though.
