For someone who likes cop-shows in the vein of Homicide: Life On The Streets (they even have The Board), and Batman, this hits the spot pretty well. If anything a bit too much Batman. ( ) With the new TV series Gotham currently being cast there has been a bit of buzz around what the storyline is going to be about. Unfortunately it is not going to be based upon this excellent series by Brubaker and Rucka. This would actually be a great way to do a non-Batman series, especially as it would be able to use the recent Nolan films as a lead in. I guess people who read will be the only ones to appreciate a series focussed on Gotham city police trying to work in the shadow of Batman. Been planning to read this series straight through, starting with the couple of volumes I already had read. I am, just to cut to the chase, sad this series didn't catch on. To me, it is one of the best Batman series, if not the best Batman series, since Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. It is Gotham as seen from the point of view of cops, and not just cops, but very much the sort of cops we recognize from TV serials. And that's a compliment. This is as engaging as the best cop dramas -- from NYPD Blue to The Shield -- and the way it employs Batman is truer to the character than most contemporary renderings. Most Batman comics make much of how remote a figure Batman is, yet keep him front and center -- they try to have it both ways, and fail at both. Gotham Central treats him as a truly unusual presence. Issues go by during which he isn't even seen, and the cops, embarrassed that they depend on him to solve the tough cases, do their best not to mention him. Brubaker and Rucka are very different writers, yet they seem so sold, themselves, on the series' unique conceit that their tales really do meld together, much as TV series like Lost and The Wire have managed to have known writers on board who, despite their seasoned voices, put ego aside and serve the overarching story. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

An intense and twisting drama, BATMAN: GOTHAM CENTRAL is a dark look at the world of Gotham's Finest as they attempt to solve crimes and prevent murders in a city full of corrupt officials, costumed psychopaths, and masked vigilantes. Presenting a powerful and realistic expose of the daily obstacles that the detectives face as they protect and serve, this gritty book follows Gotham's Major Crimes Unit as they race the clock to catch a mysterious cop killer, rescue a kidnapped child, and take down a super-powered arsonist.
