The Dark Knight and the Clown Prince of Crime’s alliance started off shaky, but now it seems to have shattered entirely. Batman has imprisoned The Joker in the Batcave, desperate to find answers about both the disappearance of Jim Gordon and the strange, genetically modified humanoid monsters gathering severed heads across Gotham. But when one of these monsters’ tissue samples comes to life, Batman comes face-to-face with a creature even the World’s Greatest Detective doesn’t fully understand, and he may have no choice but to resume his partnership with his greatest enemy.

Quelqu un le lit ?
Moi !
Par pure silvestri nostalgie !
Scénario faible mais le bonhomme assure encore à 65 ans par son coup de crayon
Merci du retour.
Dommage qu il ne se soit pas fait accompagner d un bon scenariste alors.
Et d’un encreur…
Silvestri sur les X-Men, ça avait été un gros coup de coeur.
Donc j’aime beaucoup, et visuellement, ce Batman est vraiment très agréable sur la rétine.
Après, côté scénario, c’est assez improbable, on a du mal à croire que l’alliance est indispensable, du moins côté Batman. Après, il y a des réparties du Joker qui sont amusantes, et certaines interactions m’ont fait décrocher un sourire.
Côté enquête, c’est plus light. Je suis resté un peu sur ma faim, ça démarre avec Bullock sur une ambiance qui rappelle les Batman TAS, je me réjouissais, mais c’est rapidement mis sur le côté.
On reste aussi sur une histoire de vengeance somme toute hyper classique.
On a droit à un rebondissement à la fin de l’album, mais qui est rapidement balayé, avec une explication un peu capillotractée du Joker.
Sympa mais sans plus.

Je n’ai pas encore lu, mais là version n&b est un régal ! J’étais surpris dans un 1er temps que les pages soient grises, que le n&b ne soit pas plus « poussé ». En y regardant de plus prêt, ça ressemble pas mal à des originaux, et du coup, je prends pas mal de temps à les regarder ces planches !
