Batman: Detective Comics, Vol. 6: Fall of the Batmen by James Tynion IV
3.0
While I enjoy Detective Comics with each trade that comes out I can’t always call it stellar. I think it’s good most of the time, great at moments, but just alright at other times.
Tim’s focus from the last volume is gone here. The focus is on the victim syndicate again with Clayface taking the latter half as well as the annual.
Kate’s dad shows up again and they play on Tim’s paranoia from last volume. The art is good though multiple artists take the job so it fluctuates a bit.
Tim doesn’t feel as well written and I think James Tynion IV is trying to challenge the idea of Super vigilantes and it’s been done before and better, and this just plays some of the same notes. And sympathetic characters turn evil just to be evil or because they were “hurt”. And it’s very heavy on dialogue which isn’t always good.
It kept me reading throughout but I rolled my eyes a few times as characters made certain decisions or said a certain thing that felt misplaced.
I’ve seen some of this before but this is fine.
3 stars.
