I read three Paul Dini / Alex Ross books today and this was the third! They'll be short ones since they're all very light on plot and more an excuse to give you gorgeous Alex Ross art to gawk at as he depicts these characters. Harvey Awards Best Graphic Album of Original Work, Batman: War on Crime by Paul Dini and Alex Ross, edited by Charles Kochman and Joey Cavalieri (DC) [3] Batman: War on Crime is just a great story. My favorite of the group Paul Dini and Alex Ross did (Though I haven't read Shazam's book yet) and definitely asks the question I like most. While Wonder Woman's plot was focused on her learning to relate to mankind, and Superman's was him attempting to solve a problem too high and mighty for even himself, Batman's book presents the idea that not all problems need to be solved with violence. Batman: War on Crime is a treasury giant prestige format graphic novel published by DC Comics in November 1999. The work is the second in a series of collaborations between artist Alex Ross and writer Paul Dini, following Superman: Peace on Earth. The comic received both a Harvey and Eisner Award, two of the comics industry's highest honors.

I’m very glad I read this, it shows you that superhero stories are not only cgi, jokes or epic battles with incredibly powerfull villains. There are not always saving the entire planet, sometimes there are here for you, to give you a hug and say that everything is going to be alright. There's another rich guy who serves as a moral foil for Bruce, and I guess this urban development sub-plot did serve to accentuate Bruce's good character and integrity. Bruce is Batman not just because he's wealthy; he's Batman because he's refighting Crime Alley every night of his life, as this story emphasizes. The other guy is just a wealthy jerk who never suffered similar childhood trauma, it seems. Marcus lost his parents, but he doesn't have Bruce's wealth and so goes down a different path. Both characters serve as a contrast with Bruce, who acts as a do-gooder in both sides of his life. It's a total commitment. Many comics don't show this enough, because, you know, smoke bombs and Batarangs are cool. in Justice League: The World's Greatest Super-Heroes by Alex Ross and Paul Dini (DC, 2018 series) (2018 [February 2019]) Much of that monologue narration has to do with the awfulness of crime, or how losing his parents shaped him as it will Marcus, the young boy in the story. While this provided context for the story, it was also quite banal, unfortunately.

Sprechblasen sucht man hier vergebens, Batmans Beschreibungen sind in Kästchen am Rand der wundervollen Gemälde von Ross. Viel Text gibt es dennoch nicht, die Zeichnungen sprechen hier für sich.

GRAPHIC NOVEL GUIDE

in Absolute Justice League: The World's Greatest Superheroes by Alex Ross and Paul Dini (DC, 2017 series) (2017 [January 2018]) For a comic without any speech bubbles nor specific villain it does a wonderful, if not the best job at delving into Batman's mind. Dini does such a good job that when he's narrating in first person it feels like Bruce is a real person. I like that he's both personas here, not just Batman.

Batman: War on Crime - Wikipedia

The comic does not have an answer to this question, but by depicting a simple case of Batman trying to clean up a particular part of Gotham City, these moral questions are raised, alongside his overall legacy and impact, and if he can be a hero. This might be one of the saddest Batman comics I've ever read, as his interactions with a young boy are heartbreaking but very touching. In any other hands this could be cliché and overblown, but Paul Dini and Alex Ross know all you need is a simple look from one character, and you've got all the tragedy or hope you need. Por mucho que pueda valorarse la voluntad y determinación de Bruce Wayne en tanto pudo resistirse a la tentación de frivolidad cínica y casi orgánica de su propia casta social , inteligentemente presentada en el personaje de Randall Winters, lo cierto es que la existencia final de Batman hubiera sido impensable sin un enorme colchón económico detrás que brindase al menos la posibilidad de focalizar la ira de ese modo y poderlo mantener en el tiempo. Bruce es consciente de eso y reconoce de inmediato que hasta ese momento su labor de redención había sido guiada por los impulsos más "gratificantes" de su dolor, viendo en cada criminal golpeado un consumado Joe Chill del cual desquitarse pero... ¿ Qué espacio había reservado para las victimas en su cruzada? Bruce reconoce por fin que la lucha contra el crimen tiene dos partes y, un poco similar al mensaje de Superman: Paz en la tierra , la más importante de todas y justo la parte que estaba descuidando por sentirse más cómodo como criatura terrorífica que como símbolo de redención. Al final del día Gotham (o el mundo en el caso de Superman) no puede ser redimida a espaldas de sus habitantes y aunque Batman pueda nunca ver materializada su ambiciosa promesa de una ciudad sin crimen, si puede sumar pequeñas victorias morales y , en el caso de Batman, usar sus recursos para transformar las vidas de quienes podrían engrosar sus filas y ser Joe Chills a futuro. The whole story is narrated by Batman, we get to spend some days with him and see things the way he does. There isn’t a single speech bubble, yet there are so many things said. Para un cómic sin burbujas de diálogo ni villano específico, hace un trabajo maravilloso, si no el mejor, al profundizar en la mente de Batman. Dini hace un trabajo tan bueno que cuando narra en primera persona parece que Bruce es una persona real. Me gusta que acá sea ambos personas, no solo Batman.

Con este corto fragmento se resume con bastante precisión la pregunta que sirve de base argumental para este peculiar comic. A diferencia de otras maravillosas historias como Batman: El largo Halloween , Batman: Presa , o la mítica Batman: The Killing Joke . Aquí no vemos al enmascarado luchando contra una representación extrema , y en ocasiones con poca cordura, del mal. De hecho, no hay un villano tangible sino que, al mejor estilo Batman: Ego , el "antagonismo" clásico es dejado a un lado y la intriga de la historia recae en un cuestionamiento interno del propio personaje de Bruce Wayne quién debe presenciar en Marcus (niño pobre de Bayside en Gotham) una hipotética historia alterna de lo que hubiera sido su vida si la perdida de sus padres le hubiera ocurrido en una situación de vulnerabilidad económica radicalmente distinta, lejos de los recursos para financiarse un Batmobil, tecnología superior al de las agencias de inteligencia o el viaje iniciático en donde conoció a personajes vitales como Henry Ducard o Ra's al Ghul.
