By the way, if you want more history with Renee and Two-Face, that is detailed in No Man's Land and Rucka's Detective Comics run that follows No Man's Land. Officer Down is also a very important story that takes place right before this. That details what happened to Gordon and Bullock. Gotham Central is one of my favorite DC books. I am happy to see it covered.
I adore Gotham Central and its "police procedural but with Jokesters". If you want something similar, check out 2004's Manhunter run, same sensibilities, but it's about DC's lawyers instead of cops.
That Jim Corrigan rant is, in my mind, completely valid. You name a character a specific thing that ties them to a certain character and it just doesn't amount to anything, but events pertaining to it do amount to something... Its weird. I will say that ACAB. I know this book is older and shit, but even in this their reaction to Renee's sexuality is a marker of that. And Corrigan's existence. If done today, I think the grime of the GCPD and their inherent corruption would be more of a pervasive plot point. Also more monsters would have been cool. Croc n' shit.
they are different but both great. They serve different purposes. The show ditched realism in season 1 and became a faithful amalgamation of batman media.
If you want some good Corrigan and a more spooky take on the gotham police procedural, gotham by midnight by Ray Fawkes is a good read, cut tragically short tho
You guys are on a Batman reading rampage & I'm here for it! Got all the trades sitting on the shelf but I'll have to come back after I read em 👊🏼 least I can do in meantime is help the bullshit algorithm 😂
Hey guys ✌️ I recently re-read this omnibus after not being blown away on my first read a year ago. Love Brubakers work and my second read of this blew me away. Ended abruptly so here's hoping there's more to come.
So I've read half of this series, got quite bored of the police procedural of it all as far as reading not as far as interest. But I knew the ending (I also know the context for Montoya going in & out of this series) and I have to say for you guys to call it a whimper, feels like you read it wrong. With regards to Montoya's character that is a defining moment, and is why so many are justifiably outraged that they recently made her Commisioner. It rings hollow. And as far as how a book about cops from 15 years ago can even today in our very aware ACAB 2022 it is that ending that keeps this above copaganda & allows it to feel authentic.
This and GCPD: Blue Wall go great with one another. Cool discussion guys
I am loving blue wall.

Good to know. Might need to dig into those to clear up some of our burning questions

Interesting- didn't know they spun the Manhunter character into a lawyer comic-
@@ImperiusRex i know, right. It weirdly REALLY works. Though there's more parallel superheroing going on, compared to Central.

acab huh? So by that logic, Renee is evil.
Art reminds me so much of Year One.
Noone shot up a theater calling THEMSELVES the Joker. James Holmes was given that nickname by the media, I made a vid on it
Good book, good show.

12:06 i feel like this is the inspiration for the jane doe episode of gotham

Thank you for your service Johnathon. Good call on waiting to view though- we spoil the shit outta everything in this! :)
Batman white knight would be neat

Doesn't it just continue to identity crisis > infinite crisis > 52 ?
Wouldn't Crispus Allen be the third Spectre? With Hal Jordan as second after Zero Hour?
Haven't read this but might give it a look now. Wonder if that upcoming GCPD show will take much from it. Great video guys
A lot of the references on the continuity are from no mans land. I would love to see what u think. But just stick with the main batman title.
really? Huh the tv show actually did it

Can’t argue that one bit.
anything that portrays cops as bad = authentic
anything that doesn't paint them as scum = copaganda
Probably the first time I came this early to a video
read Lazarus you cowards
