Batman: Life After Death

so-so

Alright, OK. This has proven that Bruce Wayne did create a disguise that can be worn by a successor.

This wasn't terrible, and I must admit that grown-up Dick Grayson makes a great Batman. He knows how to be the Knight that Gotham City still needs, and he does the job well.

The following is a ramble on how I felt about a new character (any character) taking on the Bat-Suit. Continue reading at your own risk 😂🤔...😉.👇

AnnCrystal For me, there is something missing in this Batman version.

This made me realize that I am not just obsessed with Batman, I am only a genuine fan of Bruce Wayne's Batman. I always separated my love for Batman from Bruce Wayne, now I realize that I can't make a connection with Batman without Bruce Wayne.

This has never happened before, not with Zorro, not with any character.

I've always known that I favored Bruce Wayne's Batman, but this 👇 8mo

AnnCrystal realization is new and difficult. Difficult, because I read through this twice and held zero emotion for my favorite superhero. I reacted to the story and characters (Dick Grayson/Batman included), yet there was no emotional link to Batman...

Even after all I've stated about Bruce Wayne being the best Batman, I never would've believed that it be this difficult for me to accept a new character taking on the Bat-Suit. 👇 8mo

AnnCrystal Like noted, this was good. The artwork was five-stars.

In the 1st story, I knew who the black mask was by Part 4 “smoke and mirrors.“ Yet, did not figure out who was playing the “role“ of Bruce Wayne in public (I either missed something or this wasn't explained).

Only read the 2nd story once. Just as good. Although, by the time I read this 2nd story, I was ready to be done with this book.

This just wasn't the Batman for me.

DaveGreen7777 I was actually collecting the comics at the time Dick Grayson was wearing the cowl, and of the three major series, the Tony Daniel one was easily my least favorite. I‘m a fan of his artwork, but his writing… not so much! If you want to give GraysonBats another try, “The Black Mirror” by Scott Snyder and “Batman and Robin” by Grant Morrison both do an excellent job of making him feel like Batman yet authentic to Dick Grayson as well. 8mo

AnnCrystal 👏Thank You @DaveGreen7777 I will make notes of these and consider these titles while book surfing 😉👍. 8mo

AnnCrystal @DaveGreen7777 P.S. helps that it wasn't just me 👍 (wacky me😂) 8mo

Batman: Life After Death | Tony Daniel

Had this awhile. Never read because I hadn't realized that in this storyline, Bruce Wayne has been killed and Robin has taken on the Bat suit.

Really should stop buying just because “Batman“ is in the title 😂 (without reading what the book is about)!

While I never before tested the theory, I believe it really doesn't matter to me who's behind the mask...so long as the storyline is focused on Batman. I just understand the original best. 👇

AnnCrystal I like Robin, and it makes sense that he might take on the Bat suit upon Bruce Wayne's demise. The same way a daughter/son or niece/nephew could (and have in other stories).

There is just something that doesn't make sense about “anyone“ taking on the character of Batman.

The character of a superhero's mask is defined by the wearer. Bruce Wayne is the embodiment of Batman. Born into existence by the events of Bruce Wayne's childhood.👇

AnnCrystal Even while Robin understands what propelled Bruce Wayne to become Batman, the endurance of Batman only makes sense when fueled by Bruce Wayne's personality.

At least for me...

OK, now I will read and find out if Tony S. Daniel can change my opinion.

A Batman book can never be bad...right? So long as the “Batman“ is alive 😉👍.

P.S. image not from this book. Just seemed a nice match for this post of mine. 8mo
