Batman carries bacon in his utility belt because he often runs into guard dogs, he points out that he uses it more often than Bat Shark Repellent. Now, Clark Kent is free to live his life and, with no Kryptonian defending the planet, humanity is safe while its new protector plans to change the world for the better. There is so much Batman content out there on a regular basis, that to add another book to the pile should mean something. It turns out that Superman is completely AWOL and no one knows where or even when he vanished off the face of the Earth. Occasionally, the story is too goofy (Darick Robertson's atrocious art doesn't help there), but it's overall a way more satisfying read than I expected.

The trio of aliens immediately show up after that and the rest of the issue is comprised of fighting and arguing between the two groups. The tangent aside, I can say that, as a character, Batman would absolutely consider looters “his problem. Sure, there were a number of things did not make much sense, like one character’s flawed reasoning behind a chosen response to something (not giving any spoilers), but the loyalty of one character towards his friend more than made up for that problem.What makes it slower is Gary Whitta’s verbosity too - if you’re not a fan of reading massive blocks of text on each page, you might want to skip this one. Batman's left to figure out what happened to Superman while dodging aliens and breaking into the Fortress of Solitude. Bei solchen schwerwiegenden Vorkommnissen muss natürlich Superman konsultiert werden, doch blöd nur, dass dieser wie vom Erdboden verschwunden ist.

DC takes some big swings with this self-contained miniseries in its own bottle universe (or "Elseworld", to use the correct parlance) but mostly whiffs on them as the bonkers plot and tone bounce all over the place.Bringing up The Imposter again, I’d like to highlight one of the biggest differences in presentation. The interplay between Batman and Lex carries the latter half of the series, with Lex’s constant conniving to save his own skin at the expense of those around him. It seemed like a storyline where Earth is under attack and Batman (as you can see by the cover) is dealing with a Gotham City that, like the whole planet, is under a complete blackout due to extreme alien tech - a very worst, case scenario that reminded me of the old "No-Man's Land" storyline which was one of the most badass ever in Batman comics, not great, but a first of its kind at the time and done pretty well. Gary Whitta · Darick Robertson Batman: Fortress (Volume 1) was a limited series, published by DC Comics. By the end of the story, Batman is now the most powerful figure in that universe and is not planning to hole up in his own fortress any time soon but become the ceaselessly proactive force for good he always intended to be.

Realizing that attempting to fight off the aliens would result in Earth being caught in the crossfire, Superman has no choice but to stand down, offering to sacrifice himself.Near the beginning of the issue, we are treated to an interaction between Gordon and Bullock in which Bullock is portrayed both as an idiot and a coward. Another Elseworlds tale, and in this case, the throughline that Batman is always Batman is the only thing consistent.

The story takes some leaps at times to get to where it wants to be, but still manages to keep the action and humor at appropriate levels. Batman: Fortress revolves around the Dark Knight growing increasingly suspicious of Superman, fueled by Superman's abrupt disappearance after the invaders appeared. comic) Batman and Robin (comic) Batman and Robin Eternal (comic) Batman/Superman (comic) Batman v Superman (General Mills) Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (comic) Batman: Arkham Unhinged Batwing (comic) Catwoman (comic) Detective Comics (comic) Earth 2 (comic) Earth 2: Society (comic) Gotham Academy (comic) Gotham Academy: Second Semester (comic) Gotham by Midnight (comic) Grayson (comic) Harley Quinn (comic) Injustice: Gods Among Us (comic) Injustice: Gods Among Us: Ground Zero (comic) Justice League (comic) Justice League/Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (comic) Justice League of America (Rebirth) Mother Panic (comic) New Suicide Squad (comic) Nightwing (comic) Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death (comic) Red Hood/Arsenal (comic) Red Hood and the Outlaws (comic) Robin: Son of Batman (comic) Teen Titans Go!
