Batman: Tenses #1 by Cully Hamner, Joe Casey

3.0

Batman: Tenses is a rather dark tale from the very early days of Batman. Bruce Wayne has only just returned to Gotham, and he's starting to reclaim his company without thinking too much about other people.

Bruce is very isolated here - I have no idea where Alfred's supposed to be in this one - and as a result he is very Dark and Grim, bordering on cruel. I don't like this Bruce that much.

What I did like was his interaction with the reporter (who guessed correctly that Bruce is hiding something) because it forced him to come back down to a more human level.

And I did like all those panels of Bruce working out without his shirt on.

So all in all a mixed bag for me. Not a bad read, but not a must read either.
