7A fun story, it's like some Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. The art is nice 7/10.

A random Batman graphic novel from our shelves. It kind of feels like it is showing a bit of age. Not sure what we were thinking when we bought it. Though Talia and Ra's al Ghul is a plus. Basically a James Bond plot, with a weather satellite and everything. Batman and the hostages rings true. Batman and the Demon maybe a little less. Okay art. Decent enough writing. But nothing fantastic.

Well the good ol' silver age of comics , filled with needless panels of over the top violence , sexually suggestive female characters (& this one had a suggestive intercourse panel as well) and of course the way over the top plot with cold war era subterfuge also on display .
This was a 90 pages long book and the first 30 or so pages were simply excellent , the book was good when it displayed Batman fighting goons and doing detective work , but it soon dives into a plot line that saw Batman readily accepting to be part of the league of shadows and just jumping (hehe) on the opportunity to marry Talia
This followed pages upon pages of Batman acting like an self entitled jerk finishing with an very unimaginative final act with a hand on hand fist fight and Batman non regrettably killing someone . Woo hoo
Basically the first third of the book was good , 2nd third was boring and the final act was very uncharacteristic of Batman , even for the time of the book's release . The art was typical of silver age comics and nothing to really write home about . Overall , i didnt enjoy this

aside from the A plot just being super boring this book just kinda sucked. i suppose it was meant to be bruce trying to have a family again but with the al ghuls but bruces treatment of talia during her pregnancy and his disregard for talias wellbeing and only caring for the baby was just gross and then talia faked a miscarriage for why? because bruce was too overprotective or something? ALSO A NON-CON MARRIAGE?? how does this even make sense. idk the vibes are off

This was pretty good, overall. Batman's relationship with Ra's al Ghul is revisited and placed in a somewhat different light, and Batman's longstanding relationship with Talia is rekindled.
I agree that the conceit of Batman working alongside thugs with machine guns doesn't fully work, but he does inject his moral code into their ranks and disciple at least.
This story inspired the Batman & Son storyline by Grant Morrison nearly 15 years later, and I've always been intrigued by Batman's tumultuous relationship with Ra's al Ghul and Talia--they're somewhat family to him, and this is a solid extension of that.
3.5 stars
