Batman Vol. 1: I Am Gotham by Scott Snyder, Tom King
4.0

I am not going to lie. At first this rebirth or “new” batman was hard to follow. But it picked up and started making sense by the end. We are introduced (or at least think we are introduced) to two new superheroes Gotham and Gotham Girl. They want to protect Gotham and help Batman. Batman also has another new cohort Mr. Thomas. He is not a replacement Robin, he is something new. And besides a yellow batsuit, it has not been revealed yet what. We also get a shout out from the Justice League. Overall not bad. We shall see what comes.

Now time for complaints. Why Gotham Girl, why not Gotham Woman. Plus the cheerleader skirt. And worst of all the high heel boots. I am tired of these cliches. You all can do better. Why I’m at it, the yellow writing in the blue box is impossible to read. On my galley it was already blurry, and the color changes just made it worse.
