Batman: The Imposter

Awesome book. A good story, a bit obvious in places, great artwork, and a decent amount of action as well. A good idea to coincide with yge movie release to draw Bruce Wayne to look more like Robert Patterson.Imagine Batman growing up without his other father figure an angry, brilliant and still very young in his crime fighting career. He gas made his mark, but things have changed. Does the city still need or want a Batman let alone two.I really enjoyed this book and did merchant to put it down. The visuals are great and creative. I enjoyed Bruce's story. I found this of Bruce/Batman a lot darker. The fact that he gets injured and scared so much actually works for this book even more. The book finishes with a varient cover gallery.

As some people have said this story fits in well with the vibe of The Batman (movie) as it follows a younger less experienced Batman that is still raging with anger deep inside. Altogether I think the story could have been a bit deeper. It was interesting throughout with good characters but I think it just needed an extra issue to make the ending less rushed. The artwork is not my thing normally and a bit alternative and scratchy (almost photo like in parts) but I think it compliments the story well and it’s also the more experimental style I expect from a Black Label book. All in all I would suggest you add it to your collection and you will enjoy it but it’s not to the level of the likes of Three Jokers. I’m glad I got it shortly after watching The Batman.

Great take on batman, more grounded story and excellent plot. Mystery, action and relationships all told well in both script and art.Sorrentinos art is something I never got into before but the artwork, placement of story beats and limited colours per page really added a lot to it. The style was very immersive in Batman's world. Will be rereading secret empire after this.Definitely one of my fave batman stories, highly recommend.

The art is brilliant and the story is good. Buy it if you like batman...or comics...or batman comics

One of the better standalong Batman tales in recent years. Engagingly atmospheric artwork and believable characterisation.
