Then in the backup, it was made clear that Zur always had a way to defeat Failsafe, and could very well have helped Batman during his protracted battle with the android, but chose to do nothing. The enormous Joker sharks formed from Red Mask's decaying sanity are still sharks, making them susceptible to the Bat-Shark Repellent Bruce picked up earlier from 1966's bright knight. Damian’s a character I love, but I know the cool beats coming up for him in other stories, so I’m happy to wait my turn!

Passing the Torch: Penguin privately expresses joy at the thought of the two children that inherited his empire taking out Catwoman and Batman while he's retired. The second story, titled I Am the Gun, is a Year One story for Zur-En-Arrh, giving readers the chance to better understand the origin behind the personality splitting of The Batman as he goes after The Joker, as the story explores the age-old conflict of either stopping the Clown Prince of Crime definitively or to live with the idea that he may escape and take more lives. While it could be caution after what happened to them, Failsafe correctly concludes Arthur is likely sheltering Bruce and sets sail for Atlantis. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Usually when I read anything DC, it's whatever strikes my fancy because I don't follow DC religiously.Sure, Batman might have developed a counter to himself (a Failsafe) should he ever stray from his mission and actually take a life - - - but shouldn't Failsafe have been activated long before this story? But with only so many pages available for a backup, I don’t feel like the story even needed this scene. mythos, to the actual extent that the architect of the only credible plan to kill Batman is Batman himself? One of the things I recognized when I came on the title is that this version of Batman is a little bit older. Batman actually gets severely injured for a change, but this looks silly when we know that falling from the moon and crashing on Earth doesn’t even cause him to sprain an ankle!

At the end of his analysis, Gayen wrote: "Chip Zdarsky uses the debut issue of Batman: The Knight to propel Bruce Wayne on a lengthy trial to strengthen his mind, soul, and body". The Zur-En-Arrh backup story "I Am A Gun" reveals that he was created after Professor Milo put Batman through a psychedelic trip that scared Bruce so badly that he turned the trip into his own weapon to stop such things again. The seemingly unstoppable robot assassin was designed by Wayne as a contingency plan to reign in any member of the Justice League who goes rogue, including Batman himself. Bruce Wayne is at a turning point, haunted by dreams of a dark future, while Gotham City oligarchs are being gruesomely murdered.If anything, it is a relief to find artist Jorge Jiménez coming back for this volume, giving readers at least one sure thing to love in this new series. Batman has battled all manner of criminals, monsters, and super-villains, but nothing could have prepared him for what s coming with Failsafe, an unstoppable foe that can outfight and outthink the Dark Knight could this all be connected to a dark secret in Bruce Wayne s past? The Penguin seemingly kills himself after being poisoned with mercury and frames Batman for it, which in turn leads to the activation of the Failsafe robot. When Zdarsky was announced as part of the new creative team on BATMAN I was expecting some of that psychological reveals, based on the fine work he did with his run on DAREDEVIL ( a deep dive into Matt Murdock's purpose/mission and whether he should continue).
