    Detective Comics #1 - Batman in Detective Comics by blurred_view on September 08, 2011

    The controversial relaunch of Detective Comics by artist Tony Daniel has arrived, featuring a cat and mouse chase between Batman and Joker that would make for a fairly fun and exciting issue if not for Daniel burying it all under weak characterization and some pretty bad dialogue.  For the record, I am someone who doesn't believe DC should have relaunched this and Action Comics with new number ones.

    So, here’s the new Batman for the New 52.   I’m not going to harp on this because I already ranted in my Action Comics #1 review, but if this is going to take 5 years in the past and it’s meant for new readers – they should say that!   Anyway, DC and AC seem to be five years in the past while Superman and Batman are in the present.   Like Action Comics #1, this issue appears to take place slightly before Justice League #1. So, since this takes place in the pre-super hero past, Batman is consid...
