Batman: The Rise and Fall of the Batmen Omnibus Hardcover – December 29, 2020

I was so stoked to find this run by James Tynion IV had been collected into a single omnibus. It was so stellar! It focuses on Batman as the leader of a group, though we quickly see this group doesn't need him as much as some might think. The portrayals of Tim Drake and Kate Kane's Batwoman were fantastic. Though the New52's Batwoman was also great, it faltered a bit at the end--this series puts her right back on top as a hard military realist, as she should be. This series also ties in directly with the Rebirth Batwoman series rather effortlessly, which I adored.Tim Drake just hasn't gotten the love he deserves in recent years, but this story does him justice!I loved that this series calls back to past DC stories without needing to have read them and I loved that Azrael also became a part of the group a little later in. Though he doesn't get much "screen time" as I might have liked, this series approaches Azrael's religious component with much more realism than his solo series from the 90's ever did.Not to mention Cass is back and learning to speak through studying Shakespeare with Clayface! How adorable is that?! Stephanie Brown is sassy and rebellious without being annoying, something not everyone can write.It could be hard to say which character shines best in this series but I think it's definitely Tim and Kate.

Awesome book. The story is really great but it seems like more of a 'batwoman' omnibus in my opinion.The entire book is really a Batwoman/Tim Drake story with other people peppered in.I thought the book would be much more woke than it actually was. Any time there seemed to be some woke aspect it seemed to be more of a joke than a distraction. In the entire omnibus, I can count the woke moments on one hand. They did not distract from the story like in other books.Batwoman has daddy issues but none of that ever really gets hammered out and one of my only gripes is that the ending of the book ends with her in almost the exact spot she started.Orphan was one of the best parts of the book and her character is awesome.Clayface was a present surprise.Their whole dynamic was cool and wish there was more.In terms of book quality, the pages seemed a bit wavy at first (probably due to humidity) but have strengthened out over time.

Really solid writing and beautiful artwork.

Awesome comic and AWESOME ART 🖼🎨🎨

One of the best batman storylines in continuity made, if you think batman is overrated this will surely change your mind for the better.

Detective Comics Rebirth por Tynion IV fue más consistente que Batman de King. Muy entretenida y con excelentes dibujos.

$78 for this is a steal. Great stories and I'm not even halfway through it.

Nice book good art and story
