Private Joker vs. Batman
Contains spoilers, click to show
Melanie Griffith’s character is the real hero in this one. I kept expecting a twist, but there really wasn’t much of a surprise ending. Billed as an “upscale horror movie,” and I can see why, for those of us over 25. Oooooohhhhh, my credit! Real-world nightmare scenario.

Part 2
This is still a great part, the ending is really good. I would highly reccordmend the comic book and also this film.
The Plot: Batman comes out of retirement and gets help from a teenage sidekick. He faces off against the Joker and Two-Face before a battle to the death begins against Superman.

This was an interesting story for the Justice League crew. They are all being targeted and picked off, one by one. The killers are picking things that would hit each of theme where it hurts, knowing how to take them down with one hit. How do they do this? Batman.
This showcases Batman's need to know all of the ways his team mates work, and know how to ruin them. Though he claims it's for the good of the people, I think it's because he is insecure in his own lack of powers surrounded by people who are stronger than him.
All in all, this was an interesting comic and I think I need to read more about the flaws of Batman. If you have any recommendations, let me know!

The second set of New-52 Batman 'Owls' stories (after [b:Batman, Vol. 1: The Court of Owls|13223349|Batman, Vol. 1 The Court of Owls|Scott Snyder|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1342307351s/13223349.jpg|18412501], this is a more a collection of (Court of) Owl-related, stories rather than a direct continuation of the story in that previous collection. Well, that is, after the first entry or so, that sees the Court's undead assassin's (or Talon's) attacking Wayne Manor ...
As expected, and as a compilation, some of the stories contained herein are better than others: it's also interesting to see a different take on some of the villain and previously side-characters than, perhaps, they had been given before - I'm thinking, in particular, of Alfred Pennyworth, and of Viktor Fries.

Look at this Photograph
8mm- is a underrated mystery thriller, it was directed by Joel Schumacher, yes the person who destoryed and ruined batman two years before this movie came out. Joel Schumacher is better with mysterious and thrillers than Batman. Anyways the plot:
Private detective Tom Welles (Nicolas Cage) lives a normal life with his wife (Catherine Keener) and young daughter, until he receives a startling new case. A widow named Mrs. Christian (Myra Carter) has found what appears to be a snuff film among her late husband's belongings, and she wants Welles to determine if the movie is real or fake. Welles heads to California, where a video store employee (Joaquin Phoenix) helps him infiltrate the dangerous and depraved world of illegal porn movies.
Its suspenseful, horrorfying, twisted and overall a good movie.

Kyera (8 KP) rated Batman: Nightwalker - DC Icons Book 2 in Books
Jan 31, 2018
Batman: Nightwalker gives us an origin story for the Caped Crusader that we didn't know we needed - even if it doesn't feel like the dark, gritty Batman we know from the Dark Knight or the comics. Bruce is an eighteen-year-old boy who is still trying to figure out who he is in a world where his parents were murdered when he was a child and he has just come into their vast fortune. He struggles to figure out how to live up to his parents' legacy and finds himself in a dangerous situation.
If you go into this book expecting Batman, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. This is a teenaged boy who is realizing that he wants to do more for his city and is coming to the conclusion that Bruce Wayne might not be enough. This book is his real origin story and Marie Lu brings his transformation back to its roots. We meet the boy who will one day become Batman, not the man we are familiar with as the Dark Knight.
I really enjoyed getting to know young Bruce in this story, although Alfred certainly stole the show. You could feel the bond that they had with one another, which translated so much more authentically than some of the other relationships in the story. I felt that Diane and Harvey were a little underdeveloped in the story, so I never really formed a connection with them. I really enjoyed the little cameos from characters we're familiar with and the characterization of people that we know are much more important in the Batman mythology in later years.
Superhero books are definitely difficult to write because they're so action heavy and as a result, visual, but I feel that Lu managed to capture the kinesthetic nature of the book well. She definitely delved more into Batman's detective nature, which was really nice because we don't see that as often as his fighting bad guys schtick. If you're interested in seeing the detective Batman dig into mysteries and try to foil a criminal organization than you should enjoy this book - just don't expect giant action-packed fight scenes.
I have really enjoyed the DC Icons series thus far because it brings the characters we've grown familiar with back to their roots. They're teenagers who are still figuring out who they are in the world, regardless of their future superhero journey. They are fragile and unsure, yet with a thirst for justice that one day will allow them to grow into the superheroes we know and love.
