Lady Shiva steals the mythical League of Shadows from Ra's al Ghul. Lady Shiva is also Cassandra Cain's (Batgirl's) mom.
I really like Cassandra's character. The fact that her brain gave the normal speech making functions over to reading body movement is a good one. This volume centers on her decision to either give in to her assassin training or stick with the Bat-rule of no killing.

Gotham City. Son gardien, le chevalier noir, Batman. Une idée : former une team, regrouper les défenseurs de Gotham derrière une même bannière. Batman et Batwoman vont former une équipe composée de Red Robin, Spoiler, Orphan, Clayface et d'autres. Face à eux, un danger grandissant.
Batman The Rise and Fall of the Batmen est un omnibus, c'est-à-dire le regroupement de plusieurs comics en un gros volume, publié par DC en 2020. Il contient les arcs narratifs Detective Comics Rebirth sous la plume de James Tynion IV(The Nice House on the Lake, Something is Killing the Children, DC Vampires, Justice League Dark). C'est l'omnibus sur le projet et le destin de la Batfamille, les Gotham Knights.
Cet omnibus de 1280 pages est composé des histoires Rise of the Batmen, Night of the Monster Men, The Victim Syndicate, Batwoman Begins, League of Shadows, The Wrath of Spoiler, Intelligence, Utopia, Dystopia, A lonely place of living, Fall of the Batmen, Knightfall, Clay, The Trial of Batwoman, Batmen Eternal, Boy Wonders, The Precedent. Ce sont les Detective Comics #934 à 981 + #1000 + Batman #7-8, Nightwing #7-8 et Robin 80th Anniversary #1.
En terme de compréhension, il faut avoir lu l'omnibus Batwoman et les omnibus Batman par Snyder et Capullo (Court of Owl, Year Zero) car il y a des références et c'est la suite directe.
J'ai bien aimé ce run de James Tynion IV car Batwoman et son histoire sont au cœur de l'intrigue et que la Batfamily est intéressante et change du Dark Knight solitaire. L'intrigue est intéressante et pose de nombreuses questions façon Watchmen sur la gestion du crime par des vigilantes et leur technologie de plus en plus militaire. Il y a un petit creux au milieu mais dans l'ensemble c'est une bonne histoire mais en terme de collection, je ne pense pas que ce soit un must have dans une bibliothèque, à la différence du run Long Halloween de Loeb et Sale par exemple.
Niveau dessin, c'est très joli et d'une très grande qualité. Eddy Barrows, le dessinateur toujours aux côtés de Tynion, fait un très bon travail.

This volume focuses on some interesting family relationships. Cassandra Cain, aka Orphan, and her very complicated relationship with her mother, Shiva, is highlighted. The story also examines Cassandra's obsession with a talented ballet dancer, contrasting the use of dance movement to express beauty versus martial movement to express violence. Cassandra's violent tendencies relative to Batman's is another avenue this story explores. Batman admits that Orphan could beat him in a "real" fight, but I think that's only because Batman's strict moral code forbids him to kill whereas Orphan's does not. In addition, Clayface, Azrael, and Batwing all get good supporting moments. There's even a flashback with Tim Drake that foreshadows that Batman knows much more about what's in store for the team than he is letting on. And if the army of ninjas that make up the League of Shadows isn't the worst threat, I can only imagine what is. We get a hint near the end of the volume with the reveal of the mastermind behind Shiva and the Shadows. But is he in turn being manipulated by some even greater evil? Stay tuned....
The artwork by Marcio Takara, Christian Duce, and Fernando Blanco ranges from good to excellent, although not quite as crisp as I prefer, but is hampered by Alex Sinclair and Marcello Maiolo's dark colors that favor blacks, browns, and reds.
Note: I read this as individual comic book issues.

I like this Batman team, but the story was only so-so.

Love Orphan. Love this team. And LOVE the years-long arc about what the Robins are building. Inspired and clever.

The League of Shadows stuff is losing me. Honestly a slog to get through. Don’t care for Shiva.
