Bump

i'm here user, thanks for the storytime
wish we still had at least one Batman title like this

As do I

But he doesn't even beat up anybody with a robot suit. Some detective. Not even a fight with Superman or one of his sidekicks.

.

Last one

I'm here. Really enjoying a Batman story where it isn't just action action action. Also really like his internal monologue in this.

If you could recommend more stories like this I'd really appreciate it.

>If you could recommend more stories like this I'd really appreciate it.
I can't think of any as gritty as this one. I'm interested in more detectiving stories too. I guess they're a rare thing?

A Gotham Tale (Batman 477-478)

Good suggestion, user. Why don't we read it together?

O'Neil didn't do that much detective stuff desu. His Batman was more of the globetrotting James Bond type. Which is equally as valid a theme for Batman if you ask me.

Batman as James Bond was always my favorite

Attached: batman478p20.jpg (920x1382, 234K)

he was both user, he investigated mysteries by locating clues which allowed the reader to follow along and give him a chance reach a logical conclusion before or at the same time as Batman did
nowadays batman writers are just memeing detective stuff, just look at detective comics#10000 where there wasn't a single detective story, just batman jumping from one lead to another without any explanation or reasoning

One of the things I've always thought was cool about Batman was how versatile he is. He can fit so many roles, from gritty noir detective to global superspy/ninja, while still being the same character.

That's all. A cool story, thanks for the rec, user.

Batman is the coolest. Simple as

Detective Batman is the best

That's not how being sealed in an air-tight room works. A person would die of carbon dioxide displacing oxygen, not breathable air running out.

Man, I'm not sure of that

Me, this is neat

Good stories so far. Guess I'll take over with one of my favorite detective Batman stories written by the late, great Harlan Ellison.

Thanks user, this has always been one of the real hidden gems of Batman stories.

This issue was by far the best in that series. Sadly it wasn't like the whole thing was consistently quality.

Maybe actually read the story and see that you're wrong

Im reading.

Reading.

I kind of wish batman would have said nice tshirt or something

lol

This was really good. Like uncommonly solid. A hidden gem indeed.

I want a sequel where he checks in on the girl's wellbeing.
