DC Comics releases a spinoff of Batman which is the after years of his vigilante business and now here comes Batman The Detective on its first issue.

We all know that Batman is a detective, we’re not that dumb, but whatever the reason for writing this comic determines the story itself because what we will find is something much colder than The Batman who laughs comics. The spinoff comic is written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by Andy Kubert. Andy is an American comic artist, writer, and letterer who is best known to work as a letterer at DC Comics since 1980, but he is also known for his work at Marvel Comics with numerous X-Men titles. Later that time, he became a penciller of the Batman series, and with writer Grant Morrison introduced the Damian Wayne character, and he’s also the one who revived Batman: Black and White anthology series last winter.

The cover art shows more than a shadow figure of Batman who is wearing a trench coat with some goggles, and he’s still wearing the Batman suit for battle. But I don’t know what’s the change? Does this comic has a dilemma to have Batman as a detective or something. But let’s say that this is the alternative world of Gotham which is more corrupted and Bruce’s family has left and he is home alone.

The story starts in a bizarre moment where the airplane is flying from Gotham to London. The conductor is being disguised as a criminal by wearing that white Batman mask, and she claimed that this is Batman’s fault. I don’t know what came up with that whole tragic but the crime has never been stopped and Gotham is in peril numerous times around while Batman is on the job. Bruce has realized that he wouldn’t stay in the cave anymore because all of his wrongdoings and his family is gone. The most bizarre thing about this comic is that right now, he’s fighting against ghosts and an army of dressed white Batmen. Apparently, the battle has just begun, but how will the war end?

The story can be turning a lot of twist points because this whole comic is when Batman is being framed by another supervillain who dresses just like him. At the beginning of the story, one of the conductors of the plane claimed that it was all his fault and he should be responsible. But under these circumstances, life will never be different because the crime hasn’t gone away and there are many wars out there with some bloodshed, but in the end, he found out that someone is taking the lives that Batman saved in the past years, in other words, he’s being framed. The art style, I can expect more coming from the guy who drew a lot of X-Men comics in his time, even though he came from a family of artists who founded The Kubert School by his father. And I’m guessing this is what exactly what a DC Comic of this art style looks like because it has some great anatomy, details and really better at drawing action scenes along the way. I can’t explain more because what I can see his drawings in black and white, he had a lot of inking to work on, and he had great results because the detail looked so very clear for the readers to witness. So, Batman, the Detective is a serious kind of comic with a great art style coming from Andy Kubert himself, and hopefully, we get to see the whole story and find out what Batman’s true enemy is.
