![]() I had mentioned in an earlier review that our creative team’s Bullock is a book reader, while the original character was a fan of old cinema. The addition of a very noir feeling atmosphere adds an extra layer to the proceedings. If you’re a fan of procedural shows, or are at least familiar with them, then the interactions between these two in the office and at the crime scene should feel very natural to you: I think, as an audience, we have come to expect this level of detail in the dialogue with it being so common place nowadays, the absence of it would almost feel unnatural. This time around, it seems that Harvey will be spending more time with Nancy Yip, a character introduced in Buccellato and Manapul’s last arc. Well, while this scene still doesn’t show him hitting the town and being the rich playboy, it does recognize the Bruce side of Batman and its importance to the character. Recently, one of the reviewers here at Batman-News commented on the fact that we don’t get to see a lot of Bruce being Bruce. There is also a nice moment between Batman and Alfred, in which the creative team displays their take on the Batman/Bruce persona. ![]() We get to see some Batman action, Batman working the case with actual detective work, and explanations to the viewer of what he is doing as he explains it to Alfred. It’s a nice snippet/sampling of the kind of things Batman deals with on a daily basis and I think it helps newer readers instantly identify with the kind of things they can expect to see coming out of this book. We weren’t asked to start off slow, but instead jump in at the culmination of an ongoing case. I can’t tell whether this Batman intro will be relevant to the overall story or if this is just a way to thrust us back into the world of Batman, but if the later, it did the job well. The two characters that we primarily spend time with are Batman and Harvey Bullock, following suit with the standard set up from Buccellato and Manapul’s last arc. The creative team of Brian Buccellato and Francis Manapul return to the pages of Detective Comics, and with them comes Anarky!Īctually, Anarky only makes one decidedly small appearance in this issue, and remains the mystery figure that our heroes need to uncover.
