Batman #1 Preview

 

 

Batman #1 kicks off a new era for Gotham's guardian. Whether you've read Batman before, or this is your first issue, Matt Fraction makes his new story easy to leap into. Matt steeps the series in history yet opens it up to new beginnings. Perhaps most exciting, Matt seems less interested in deconstructing Bruce Wayne and more interested in making him a hero. 

I grew up watching Batman on TV. He, and his friends and enemies, were there for me every day. Adam West's Batman never took himself too seriously. But neither was he ever a joke. I don't expect Matt and Jorge's Batman to rope-climb walls beside Robin and stop to chat with people gazing out their windows. But despite the first issue's serious tone, I can tell I'm going to have fun. In this complicated world, we all need a rollicking good tale now and then.
