Batman - Detective Comics (2016-) Vol. 8: On the Outside

It was a great story telling.It was a very interesting way to make you understand how batman embraced what he truly is

Good follow up to the Tim Drake/Batwoman stories. Enjoy the rebirth of the Outsiders and that Batman could form the team he wanted without having to be apart of it at all times. Fun and easy read...good art

Bryan Hill proves he understands these characters and with such great art to back him up, he's able to tell a pretty cool story with a new villain but also plants some seeds for whats to come in the future. Hopefully DC lets him continue this story in his run of Batman and The Outsiders, because I think it'll be of the great Batman stories when all is said and done.

Damn good read,damn good art,damn good new villain,damn good team; Im in😀😀!!

One of the best detective comics books I’ve read in a while.

Batman: Detective Comics, Vol. 8: On the Outside by Bryan Hill & Michael Moreci (illustrated by Miguel Mendonca, Phillip Briones, and Sebastian Fiumara) is a graphic novel which continues the story of the aftermath of the events which led to the Gotham Knights team take down the monster they helped create. This graphic novel collects issues #982-986.Batman (Bruce Wayne), Batwoman (Kate Kane), Red Robin (Tim Drake), Orphan (Cassandra Cain), Azrael (Jean-Paul Valley), Batwing (Lucas Fox), as well as a few other heroes known as the Gotham Knights took down a monster which, ironically enough, they helped created. Their battle isn’t over, however, as our battle scarred heroes are trying to physically and emotionally recover from their ordeal.The young heroes of Gotham, do not intend to simply stand down, while resenting that Batman assigned Black Lightning (Jefferson Pierce) as their new guide. Also introduced is a new villain, Karma (Wayne Hawkins), who can read minds and be a step ahead of everyone.The ideas which drive Batman: Detective Comics, Vol. 8: On the Outside by Bryan Hill & Michael Moreci (illustrated by Miguel Mendonca, Phil Briones, and Sebastian Fiumara) aren’t new, Batman’s past actions come back to haunt him. However the writers do execute them in a different way, making Bruce very protective as he realizes that he is doing no favors to the people who trust him.The new villain, Karma, is very interesting with dark origins, a well done villain and a very good opponent for the Gotham Knights. The interaction of Black Lightning with the team really speeds up the story. I’m sure there are some tie-ins to the Black Lightning TV show, I don’t watch the show and I didn’t feel I lost anything of the story because of it.The art is very good, powerful and dynamic, the action sequences are strong especially the ones featuring Batman or Orphan. The tone of the book is very similar to the previous ones, which really helps follow it. I do like different renditions in comics, but I do not like styles change abruptly mid-story, or sometimes even mid-issue.I really enjoyed this book, as it is a complete story with plenty of material to be used later on. I’m looking forward to the new run of this character and his team.

Mediocre drawings and stories with no plot, there are just too many who think they can do batman but in fact not many can really deliver.

After James Tynion's departure, we get a five-issue storyline where Batman brings Black Ligtning to Gotham to care for the remaining former Gotham knights and help Batman protect them from a new villain called Karma who believes that Batman's family makes him weaker.This is a pretty good story with a lot of nice character moments and moves at a good pace. The story is the comic version of a backdoor pilot for Hill's Batman and the Outsiders. My only complaint was dragging Barbara to the batcave and put her under Black Lightning. Given the time she's been in the Gotham and the fact that she's so far beyond the other members of the team, that was practically an insult.Then we get a Batman fighting in the shadows and dealing with Deacon Blackfire. The art is nice for the dark scenes, though a little less impressive for the beautiful cityscape at the end. Nice atmosphere and some good character exploration without spiraling into out of control navel-gazing.Overall, a fun filler volume.

Zoals bijna alle Batmancomics, zeer goed.

Meh... boring
