Batman not trusting when a person or situation is too perfect, Alfred finding out about Bruce Wayne's sex life and Aquaman rushing to the surface because dolphins reported a woman screaming in the ocean, which was a result of sex. There's a lot of great moments Catwoman's reaction to aging and getting called a cougar.
This book does have Kevin Smith patented humor which is not all dick and fart jokes, this one is a little bit more mature than Cacophony and thankfully no rape jokes. Baron Blitzkrieg anyone? though he is one over the cooler ones for the new era. Freeze, Two-Face and a plethora of D list villains from the history of Batman's Rouges. This book features Batman, Nightwing, Robin (Tim Drake), Superman, Aquaman Catwoman, Joker, Poison Ivy, The Demon, Killer Croc, Deadshot, Mr. In this graphic novel both relationships will be tested. This story asks the question of what does it take for Batman to trust in both love and in partnership. I know he's capable of writing something excellent in the next collection - SO DON'T LET ME DOWN!īatman: The Widening Gyre by Kevin Smith and art by Walter Flanagan Is the sequel to Batman: Cacophony, which I really enjoyed and rated 5 stars. I'm always going to have faith in Smith because he really is better than what most people give him credit for. With the way the ending went, there's no way we're not getting a crazy, violent and brutal Batman. Supposedly, this is going to be a 3 part series so I'm hoping that he plans on finishing strong. He's so good here and has steadily improved on what he brought to the table with Cacophony. I feel like such a heel saying that about the book because I'm a massive fan of Walt's artwork. However, it doesn't make up for all the strange "happy" Batman/Bruce Wayne stuff. Granted, it's not all bad - he wrote a decent scene between Bats and Catwoman. I mean, there's no other way to describe it.
In a word, Kevin's writing here is just weird. It kind of made me forget about all the strangeness that led up to it. My problem with the ending is that it makes the entire novel seem better than it deserves to be. As Kevin wrote in the afterword, there's no one that could have predicted that.
My main problem with this book is the ending. So I knew that he probably just wrote a bad arc, it happens. I mean, I love the guy's work! Big fan of his movies and podcasts I also really enjoyed his Daredevil and Spider-Man runs. Already, my hopes were probably too high. In my review of Batman: Cacophony, I stated that I had high hopes for the sequel in which Kevin Smith promised a superior story. In fact, I'm such a Kevin Smith fan that I think it may be the only reason I'm giving this a 3 star rating over a 2 or a 2.5.
