Welcome to Litsy!

14 Batman stories set in 14 countries by creative teams from those countries: neat idea, ok execution.
With about 15 pages per story, there's not much space for development, even bearing in mind most readers will have some immersion in the Bat-milieu, so minimal set up is needed.
A quick, easy read with some good bits, but it's like those pizzas that show piled toppings on the packaging, but there's hardly any cheese and only one olive inside 🍕🫤

"Home? Come on, Batman. I'm not needed there.
A mad clown has already taken a dump on the desk of the Oval Office, and people still love him."

? Why, Mr. Joker, to whom could you possibly be referring? ???

The title ‘YEAR ONE‘ carries a lot of baggage. It must be a bare-bones reimagining of a hero‘s origin story, told with gritty realism. It must be serious and mature. This feels like a trap, a recipe for a maudlin, no fun tale. But in the hands of this creative team, it is a success. The familiar story is rendered in a tense and pulpy fashion, making every moment feel highly consequential. Recommended!

I hope everyone who celebrates had a Happy Batman Day yesterday!

There are 2 malevolent Jasons in this book #ThatsComicsBaby

“You lost?” the man asked. He had a zillion wrinkles, and he was wearing a hat that would suit an old-fashioned detective. He perched on a stool beside the stairs out of the subway station, ready to launch into a guitar solo.

Thank You @catsandbooks for #ShowAndTellTuesday and for the tag 🥳🎨💝.

Made this tonight, from upcycled materials.

Saved the foil seal from baking powder and transformed it into a Batman bookmark 🦇🔖📚 by cutting out design, using double-sided tape to attach to a drawing I doodled, and attaching a string that I had saved from a previous project.

These make good ornaments. Just be sure to be cautious in case the foil is sharp.

☺️🎨🦇💝.

I combined Batman with one of my favorite sayings:

“Hope Is Like A Seed, & A Seed Must First Be Planted In Darkness“ -Unknown

To create my Haiku:

A Darkness Swept World
A Rage Born From Injustice
Yet Hope Is A Seed

I remember the moon.
A cold and bloated orb, it watches with indifference as we pass below.
I remember my parents smiling—recalling some incident of our evening in town. They are so happy.
How quickly that can change, eh?
Something happens … the coach stops abruptly.
