Batman: The Imposter by Mattson Tomlin
4.0
‘Batman The Imposter’ by Matson Tomlin with illustrations by Andrea Sorrentino is a graphic novel about the Dark Knight set in a world from the most recent Batman movie .
When a beat up Batman shows up on the doorstep of his psychotherapist’s house, we learn they have a relationship, although not necessarily friendly. She helps patch him up as long as he shows up by dawn. If he doesn't, she calls the cops on him. This is a Batman without Alfred. This is also a young Batman who gets beat up a lot. He has bigger problems on his hands because there's also a Batman that is murdering people. Batman has to solve this crime with very little help and prove why he wants to be the Batman.
I liked the version of Batman in the latest film, so I liked a story kind of set in that universe. He's grittier and rougher around the edges but everything that makes him Batman is still there. The art is pretty cool too. I really like the style of it with lots of shadows. This is a recommended read.
