Batman: Turning Points by Greg Rucka
5.0
Look the general consensus about this book is that it's really a mediocre book , however against the majority i hold this book in high regard as i absolutely enjoyed this book .
The book narrates the various turning points in the relationship Jim Gordon and Batman , Namely 5 big incidents , the first one was in Year one when Batman first appeared and tried to win faith of Jim , the next was when Bats took his first Robin who was a kid and Jim was not having a kid in the middle of the mess known as Gotham , the third incident arrived after incident of Knightfall when Jim didnt know it but Azarael took on the mantle briefly , and finally the Follow up after death of Jason and Barbara being shot by Joker .
The book portrays all these incidents in distinct art styles similar to that of the era they were first published in , the dialogues the bat suits all similar to that age of comic book . Meanwhile the story really drills home how the bond of friendship has formed and retained between the two crime fighters . The final story arc really bought the story to a satisfying conclusion and really made me well off .
In the end , for me a critically acclaimed book/show/series may fail , but every tale that draws emotions from me , be it sorrow or laughs or excitement , i dub those books fantastic and ergo this was ... Fantastic
