Batman: The Knight (comic)

3 on Batman Inc. #2 reviewEver since Batman Inc. returned, someone has been hunting down each one of Batman and Ghost-Maker's former teachers! While the evidence points a finger at Ghost-Maker, several other suspicious players begin to make their moves. The Man He Used To Be Ed Brisson makes use of Ghost-Maker's newly fleshed out backstory in Chip Zdarsky's Batman:…
Batman: The Knight #10 offers the big, climactic finale to a series that I'm not sure needed one. The time spent on Bruce's training abroad, in the past, has always been vaguely referenced and left with plenty of gaps. This approach is very useful to writers, since it allows them to insert whatever lesson or…
Zdarsky has taken Batman: The Knight in a direction that I'm genuinely shocked he's decided to go: rewriting the origin of Bruce and Ra's al Ghul's relationship. When this series began, it seemed like pretty straight forward concept; the time between when Bruce's parents were shot and when he returns to Gotham to fight crime…
This series has jumped from delivering my favorite issue of the entire run to my least favorite. It's not a bad issue per se, but so much of what I enjoy about Batman: The Knight, and what it's supposed to be about, gets lost among all the other distractions. Between bringing back Anton as a…
Magic has always existed on the periphery of Batman, even if he's supposed to be the one with more "realistic" abilities and stories. His design and name itself evoke a gothic horror motif, rife with vampires, phantoms, and monsters. It took about 4 months after his debut for Batman to face his first supernatural foe…
It wouldn't be a training montage without learning from a retired special ops agent deep in the snowy wilderness, now would it? This month's lesson is less about teaching Bruce a specific skill that he'll need to be Batman, (I don't know if I remember too many times I saw the caped crusader take out…
Every issue of this series has been about Bruce developing a different skill in his journey to becoming Batman, and the lesson of the month in Batman: The Knight #5 is espionage. While keeping the same format for 5 issues so far (and presumably for the next 5 issues as well) does start to get…
Batman: The Knight #4 continues Bruce’s journey around the world, this time to the mountains of North Korea to learn hidden martial arts techniques from a reclusive master. Zdarsky once again delivers a fun and engaging look at the years that Bruce spent training before he ever put on the cowl, with a look into…
Bruce has officially started his world tour to find out just who he wants to be, and begun learning the skills required to make him Batman. This month his journey takes him deeper into the mystery of The Foundling and a few steps closer to becoming the Batman we know and love. I’m covering Batman:…
It's a major bummer when, even though there's an overwhelming majority of Bat-books over at DC right now, there's only one that our team is consistently excited about. It's a major win, however, when I get to review that book. Let's talk about Batman: The Knight #2 Nick took my "who was in Paris" joke so…
I know there’s kind of a running gag/cry for help about how many bat-books we need to cover over here at Batman News, but I can genuinely say that this is one book I have been nothing but excited for since it was announced. This is largely in part due to the incredible pitch: a…
In January critically acclaimed writer Chip Zdarsky (Daredevil), along with artist Carmine Di Giandomenico (The Flash), will explore Bruce Wayne’s past in Batman: The Knight! This is a 10-issue miniseries that will fill in the gap between the tragic night in Crime Alley and Bruce’s return to Gotham City after having traveled around the globe,…
