An airplane is about to crash and the only one who can save several people's lives is Batman. However, he might need a little help this time.
And Tom King's proper story officially begins here. During the Rebirth issue we got a little tease about what's about to come but here the writer explores more about it. Is it a worthy first entry?
Well, I would say yeah but some things bothered me.
Once again, it seems like King is following Scott Snyder's path of making the title a more action-oriented story focusing on cinematic scenes and is pretty engaging in that sense with the whole idea of Batman riding a frikking plane being both ridiculous and awesome at the same time. The characterization is also pretty solid with all the members of the cast acting the way they should.
And here comes the complaints and I might be wrong about this but, how the hell did Batman managed to control that plane by riding it?
Yes, several crazy things happen in this universe but I just can't believe that Batman was able to do that only by holding the plane from the top. Suspension of disbelief and everything but is something a bit too hard to buy. Plus, I don't even understand why those people decided to help Bruce at the last second, what were they waiting for?
The dialogue is okay with lots of classic Gotham themes being used but King's usual ticks are a bit awkward at times. The story is interesting enough but this was mostly focused on the action scenes.
David Finch's artwork is great, probably one of his best offerings yet. The cinematic feel of the story was perfectly depicted here and the storytelling was quite on-point.
Overall, I thought this was an exciting beginning as long as you don't think much about it.
