Some thoughts about Batman: The Detective #2


Can Batman save again all the people he already saved?

Bruce is hunting the people who are using his symbol to commit murders and while doing so, he will meet a few familiar faces that will need his help.

This was yet another solid chapter.

Tom Taylor offers a new installment where he further explores the motivations of the antagonists. The idea of a terrorist group that kills people who were saved once by Batman is pretty interesting and the writer creates really engaging situations that are both serious and even sometimes comedic.

Speaking of which, Taylor creates quite a few fun moments, some lines can be a bit cringey (like playing with the "cowardly lot" line that has been done to death at this point) but for the most part, they give you a smile. Most importantly though, Taylor delivers appropriate character moments like whenever Bruce interacts with Squire by creating a good parallel of how he sees his own sidekicks and even offering a good dynamic with the obscure Henri Ducard who also gets a good portrayal here.

Andy Kubert is always consistent on his work, depicting expressive characters and clear storytelling.

Good read, hope things continue this way.
