Are comics for kids?,
This review is from: Batman Comics (Magazine)
The only other review that was posted gave this subscription 1 star. I'm 33 and have been reading comics for the better part of 21 years. When most people think about comics they think of the old 60's Batman television show or the horrendously campy movies in the 90's. Comic's, as a medium, as so much more.
The "dark age" came and comics looked for realism. Villians that no longer simply showed up to rob a bank and danced gleefully through the streets while the heroes slugged it out an then call each other "chum" or "pal". The villian's played for keeps and are deadly. Nowhere else are these villians showcased than in the Batman title. The bad guys are mostly insane and kill freely and without remorse. Are all comics this dark? No, try Superman for example. He is the light and hope for the world and his books display that. He is the "all-american boyscout". Batman's title is dark because that is the environment in which he lives. He is a hero that was born of violence when his parents were coldly killed by a street thug in a senseless moment. I have read this book and I see nothing wrong with it. Parent's should be aware that there are more adult themes being presented and should buy accordingly. Always know what you are giving your child, it's your responsibility. Research before you buy, don't wait until after the fact to preach morality.

Depends upon writing team,
By
This review is from: Batman Comics (Magazine)
It's difficult to rate a comic book series since the title changes as the writing and art teams change. Batman has been around since the 1930's and has had probably hundreds of writers and artists. At this point the team is pretty good. They have updated old villians (and taken the step of killing off some of them) as well as introducing some good new characters. Yes, the title is very dark. All of the titles in the Bat family have been like this since Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns in the mid-1980's. The relentless darkness and grittiness does tend to wear thin at times, and it sometimes feels like the writers enjoy torturing Batman a bit too much. I wouldn't mind if they lightened it a bit. The title is violent, but also generally has good character development and tends to have lots of multi-issue arcs. The supporting cast is good, and the title takes place in a deep, rich world.
A good comic for adults and teens. If you have a kid who is a Batman fan, I recommend you stick with Batman Strikes, which is aimed at a younger audience.

Great gift for a Batman fan!!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Batman Comics (Magazine)
It's quite simple. If you are, or know someone, who is a Batman fan, this is a great gift.
If you are a Batman comic "snob", then this may not be for you. I purchased this for my husband, a huge Batman fan, two Christmas' ago & he said to keep the subscription until he dies. They arrive in order, which he loves. The artists are all very very talented. My husband, 35, loves the story lines. See, simple.
