squidbag 's review for:
Batman: Europa
by Diego Latorre, Jim Lee, Brian Azzarello, Gérald Parel, Guiseppe Camuncoli, Matteo Casali
Once upon a time, I can picture DC's artistic staff sidling into editorial's offices and saying,
"You know what would be cool? A Batman story where he's tear-assing all over Europe - Paris, Rome, Prague, Berlin - fighting with the fucking Joker, man, and each chapter could be done in a style that sort of, you know, befits the locale. Of course, we'd need to go tour around those places. For a while. For reference. Take some pictures and stuff, you know."
So, yeah. Location, location, location. Heavy on the cartographic place, lighter on the story (sort of a MacGuffin-driven, race-against-the-clock thing) but with decent action dialogue (one would assume courtesy of Mr. Azzarello) and beautiful artwork, a Batman story for people who will read another Joker story, who will read any Batman story, because, fuck it, Batman.
