A review by subhamroxx
Batman: Detective Comics, Vol. 1: Mythology by Peter J. Tomasi
3.0
The story starts off with someone going after people who helped Bruce to become Batman. First it's Leslie then Henri Ducard then Thaddeus and Etrigan even and the villain is sort of a chimera who takes the form of Batman's villains or allies and Batman has to fight him to protect the ones closest to him. And then the ultimate revelation of who or rather what this program really is... It was so unique twist.
The story is pretty generic, someone going after Batman's close one and Bruce going to rescue them but I like the twist because it allows us to meet people who have influenced Bruce and show how important try are and fun sequences of Batman fighting villains and then the realization at the end why he does this to be better, to save people and to be the hero Gotham needs.
Like the name itself it's a mythology that takes us through the life of Batman and I like references to Tomasis other Batman works and also how he shows Bruce as a guy who will do anything to protect his love ones and the end could feel like it came out of nowhere or something or a cop out but then again it's the philosophy and the idea of Batman myth that the writer is hinting at and I liked that aspect.
Doug on art was amazing and I genuinely loved the way he drew it. Probably one of his best works
