james_desantis 's review for:
Batman: Year 100
by Paul Pope
This was a interesting read. Never judge a book by it's cover!
Because this a ugly fucking cover. So I almost didn't read it :P
However I sat down and flipped through page after page and actually got pretty engrossed quickly. The idea of Batman running around in a shitty future (think like Robocop almost) while fucking up some bad people with some weird uglish art going on, and you got something special (or at the very least unique).
Batman, who we don't know if he's Bruce Wayne or not, is going around trying to uncover something. As he always does, right? You got the supporting cast here with Jim and Robin, but the weird part is this isn't the Robin you know (or the Jim I guess, though he looks a lot like him?) You don't even know who this Batman is (and slight spoilers you never really find out).
It's very odd, and never answers questions you probably are wondering. Is this like a What If? Is this the future? What the heck is this?
Which is where the negatives come in. Too many unanswered questions, mixed with some pretty ugly face art, and wraps up too neatly.
On the flipside I enjoyed the art at the action moments cause it ran sooooo smooth, and looked great. I also love the Batman in here, for he gives no fucks, and he never backs down. Also he's scary as all hell with those teeth like a vampire put in.
So overall and enjoyable time with this one without much answered in the end. A 3/5.
