Batman: The Cult (New Edition)

Product Information

Josh: Uh, yeah… “Losing focus,” is probably the best way of putting it. I was going to say the ending is rushed, and I feel like it is rushed, but just saying that didn’t feel like a complete assessment of the problem. Good call on that. In über 70 Jahren hat Batman viele Wandlungen erfahren und die heutigen Comics bieten eine große Menge unterschiedlicher Zeichenstile von fast klassisch bis sehr modern. Als ich auf The Cult stieß, war ich begeistert zu lesen, dass der Großmeister der b/w-Horrorgeschichten aus den 60igern Bernie Wrightson diese Graphic Novel gezeichnet hat und habe den Band sofort bestellt. Michael : Very good distinction there. It even has a religious angle that I kind of forgot about that was interesting but wasn’t delved too far into in lieu of drug induced mind control. The Others: Not sure about this one. It seemed to hold together as a story while I was reading it, but on analysis the holes are… maddening. Maybe they were supposed to be.

Starlin’s writing seems to channel Miller. There is the same grizzled and cynical tone to Batman’s narration and observations. “I’ve seen their type before,” Batman reflects as he encounters a bunch of violent teenagers. “Creatures without conscience or remorse.” During the fight, he reflects, “I decide to take it easy on them. But not too easy.” Starlin’s writing captures a lot of Miller’s voice, but there’s a lot less irony to The Cult.Josh: Yeah, the lift here is quite apparent, but I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing. This is definitely where you see a tonal shift within the story. At this point, I think the element that makes the sequences actually work are the interviews with Gotham citizens. Love Interests • Origins • Other Media • Publication History • Recommended Reading • Storylines • Video Games • Batman Family when you can get your hands on some stuff by Starlin but in the distinguished competition, well, it’s not brainer to buy it right away.

I particularly enjoyed a number of sequential panels Wrightson does, for instance after Batman’s been shot and he’s trying to get up, instead he literally falls to pieces. It’s just a gorgeous example of him falling unconscious but drawn in such a creative way. Did you know you can flag iffy content?

It starts off simple enough, Batman is captured, they torture him some, and he joins them. However, soon into the book he breaks free of the trance but not fully. Thanks to the city under hell, Robin, and his determination, it's up to Batman to make it out alive and save everyone.

Casper: I like it for the most part, but my favorite bits aren’t the bits with the homeless. I like the scenes where Batman’s basically tripped out of his gourd, and I like the bit where he’s in Central Park a lot. But the homeless stuff…you know, at the start of the story it’s all right, it works well enough. But then we get to a point where the National Guard comes in, and they are unable to stop homeless people who behave like a bunch of wild, out-of-control animals rather than actual people. I really can’t take that seriously. Why can’t the army stop the homeless? It just becomes unintentionally hilarious! What is this? An episode of South Park? Meanwhile in Arkham, Nashton is upset that his plan failed and wailing in his cell. A neighboring cell mate, who is largely obscured behind the steel door of his cell, proposes Nashton a riddle, asking, "Riddle me this. The less you have of me, the more I am worth." Nashton answers, "A friend." They laugh together. Since then, always trying to hurt Gotham City, and each time, bigger and bigger his ambitions and the scope of his plans… Bad: The dialogue can be really really outdated, making it hard to take serious at times. I also thought the ending became odd, and nothing like the Bruce we know. Even adding in gun use? Yeah...no.In the mid-1970s, Starlin contributed a cache of stories to the independently published science-fiction anthology Star Reach. Here he developed his ideas of God, death, and infinity, free of the restrictions of mainstream comics publishers' self-censorship arm, the Comics Code Authority. Starlin also drew "The Secret of Skull River", inked by frequent collaborator Al Milgrom, for Savage Tales #5 (July 1974). Batman: The Cult is a four-issued limited series published in DC's prestige format. Each issue of the series features a raised cover.

Casper: I mean, the stuff at the end with the enormous Batmobile is awesome! I just love how over-the-top that is. Book One: Ordeal": It is dark in the Wayne Estate and Bruce Wayne finds himself walking towards a mysterious house that has never existed before. Lured by some mysterious and magnetic attraction, Bruce is tempted to enter the eerie place and he goes deep into the dar The controversy comes, in part, from the murder -- the one Batman apparently commits. Armed with a machine-gun and hallucinating, Batman opens fire on what he thinks is the Joker. The dying man then changes to look like James Gordon and finally the truth is revealed. However, the murder is shown in such a fashion to one could argue Batman didn't actually do the killing. But those are just the hardcore unable to accept the truth -- Batman murdered a man while under the influence of a cult, incapable of controlling his actions or trusting his own senses.Families can talk about how Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham is based on a graphic novel. What would be the challenges in adapting a novel into a movie? Searching his apartment, Batman is inadvertently aided by a cop who shows him a carpet cutting tool which Riddler had murdered the mayor with at the beginning. Realizing this tool is another clue to uncovering the Riddler's master plan, Batman cuts open the rug of the apartment and discovers via a map drawn on the floor underneath that Nashton has stationed car bombs around Gotham. No sooner has he done this than an online video of Nashton's final transmission before his capture and incarceration plays, explaining gleefully that he had cultivated an online following that plans to assassinate mayor-elect Bella Reál. Neal Adams, along with the late Denny O'Neil, reinvigorated Batman during the '70s and is widely credited with returning the Caped Crusader to his dark roots. In 2010, DC Comics let Adams craft his own Batman story, free from continuity and from most editorial constraints. The result was Batman: Odyssey, without a doubt one of the weirdest things ever to happen to Batman. Weeks have passed since the incident and the Gotham City Police Department have noticed Batman's absence. Robin often spends the nights at Commissioner Gordon's office trying to find a clue that would help them locate their missing friend, only to realize something major is happening in Gotham City.
