About the author
Mike W. Barr
835 books77 followersMike W. Barr is an American writer of comic books, and mystery, and science fiction novels. Barr's debut as a comics professional came in DC Comics' Detective Comics #444 (Dec. 1974-Jan. 1975), for which he wrote an 8-page back-up mystery feature starring the Elongated Man. Another Elongated Man story followed in Detective Comics #453 (November 1975). He wrote text articles and editorial replies in letter columns for the next few years. By mid-1980 he was writing regularly for both DC and Marvel, including stories for Marvel Team-Up, Mystery in Space, Green Lantern, and various Batman titles.
Legion of Super-Heroes #277 (July 1981) saw him take on editorial duties at DC, while writing issues of DC's Star Trek comic, for whom he created the native American character Ensign Bearclaw and a pacifist Klingon named Konom. In December 1982, he and artist Brian Bolland began Camelot 3000, a 12 issue limited series that was one of DC Comics' first direct market projects. In August 1983, Barr created what may well be his most enduring work, the monthly title Batman and the Outsiders with art by Jim Aparo. Barr wrote every issue of the original series, and its Baxter paper spinoff, The Outsiders.
His other comics work includes Mantra and Maze Agency as well as the 1987 OGN hardcover book Batman: Son of the Demon (with art by Jerry Bingham), proceeds from which reputedly "restored DC Comics to first place in sales after fifteen years." This title, and Barr's work on Batman with artist Alan Davis have been cited by Grant Morrison as key inspirations for his recent (2006) run on the Batman title.
In 2007, he wrote a two-part story for the pages of DC's JLA: Classified (#47-48, Jan-Feb 2008), returned to the Outsiders with Outsiders: Five of a Kind—Katana/Shazam #1 (Oct 2007), contributed to Tokyopop's Star Trek: The Manga, and relaunched Maze Agency at IDW Publishing. He has also scripted many of Bongo Comics' Simpsons titles, including a Christmas story for 2010.
In May 2010, the Invisible College Press published Barr's science fiction/fantasy novel, Majician/51, about the discoveries of a scientist working at Area 51.

A decent look at the Batman/Ra's Al Ghul story.
July 22, 2018
Este tomo recopila dos historias centradas en R'as al Ghul, su hija Talia y su relación con Batman.
La primera historia, "El hijo del Demonio" está bastante bien, trata sobre una alianza entre Batman y R'as (en mi opinión poco probable y un poco forzada por el bien del guión, pero bueh) para enfrentarse a un enemigo común, Qayin. El arte es genial y la historia es medio tirada de los pelos pero funciona y es entretenida.
La segunda historia "La novia del Demonio", a pesar de que tiene mucha acción y a mi Robin favorito, es horrible y demasiado campy para mi gusto, parece una película mala de agentes secretos.
Me sorprendió gratamente la historia adicional centrada en Talia y escrita por Morrison, un historia corta de un solo tomo que resume a grandes rasgos su historia y su relación con Batman, y el origen de Damian, es corta pero efectiva.

O encadernado possui o primeiro arco "O Filho do Demônio" mostrando o Bruce tendo seu relacionamento com a Talia e amizade e união com o Ras, mas não curti tanto o desenvolvimento da trama.
O segundo arco "Esposa do Demônio " foi mais brabo. Tem mais ação, reviravoltas, porrada, investigação.
Por fim, a edição traz uma história de 1971 com o Ras "conhecendo" o Batman que achei bem boa, curti.

Part of the DC Graphic Novel Collection.
This book collects three stories; two full-length ones, 'Son of the Demon' and 'Bride of the Demon' featuring Batman's antagonist Ra's Al Ghul, as well as that character's very first appearance, 'Daughter of the Demon'.
Ra's Al Ghul is a very interesting Batman villain in that he actually has a great deal of respect for the 'Detective' as well as his own strict code of honour. It makes him a more complex antagonist; something which is only accentuated by Batman's on and off love affair with Ra's' daughter Talia. Having this book explore so much of that dynamic is by far its strongest element.
There's something of a James Bond vibe to these stories too; with Batman engaging in a bit of globe-trotting, infiltrating secret lairs and falling into the arms of a femme fatale.
Honestly, it's not my preferred style of Dark Knight story, but it is an interesting shift in genre that some may appreciate more than me.

(Eaglemoss #33) This book consists of essentially two complete stories, followed by a few pieces of cover art and a short-ish 'prologue' from somewhere else at the end. The first story is about 80 pages long, the 2nd about twice that. Both are very well-drawn, well-written and although a little heavy on the action, quite intelligent and reasonably sensible, as comics often were in decades gone by. Ra's Al Ghul stories usually consist of a decent plot and eloquent speech, with both he and Talia playing peculiar allies/adversaries, and as such, are among my favourites in the Batman archives. Eaglemoss have done a fantastic job with the printing too. The artwork is glossy, bold, clear, well-bound, (smells gorgeous!) and there's no hint of a typo anywhere. Batman doesn't often get much better than this. 4.5/5

En general considero que fue una lectura bastante lenta pero la trama aun asi lograba mantenerte enganchado además de que la dinámica entre Thalia y Batman servía para mantenerte interesado en cosas que les pudieran pasar a ellos. Ra's se me hace un villano interesante debido a que el no es loco como otros villanos similares a el sino que es frío e inteligente y genuinamente cree que esta haciendo algo bueno para el mundo lo cual hasta te puede hacer dudar en ciertos motivos de si lo que quiere hacer es malo. Obviamente dejas de dudar en cuanto recuerdas que busca matar a muchas 0ersonas para hacer eso.

This wasn't bad but ultimately it was a pretty disappointing read especially after I'd been led to believe the Demon Trilogy are seminal Batman works. The writing was rather naff and I don't think I've ever read Batman more out of character than in the first story in this volume. From immediately jumping into marriage, and unhesitatingly overjoyed by pregnancy, to freely killing people or apathetically letting them be killed... Happy and in love Batman and Batman-who-kills seem like they should be at odds with each other. The writing wasn't strong enough to make this work. The art is nice for its time, though, and there's some good moments to enjoy.

Contiene las novelas gráficas "Hijo del Demonio" (1987) y "La Novia de Demonio" (1990), donde el guionista Mike W. Barr expande el conflicto entre Batman y Ra's Al Ghul en dos historias plenas de acción pero que acusan un tratamiento más bien monolítico del personaje, trazándolo más arrogante y torvo de lo habitual en relación a un villano bastante mejor perfilado. Completa el volumen "Batman inc." #2, escrito por un Grant Morrison el 2012 para ahondar en las motivaciones de Talia Al Ghul.

V předmluvě se vyzdvihoval vztah otce a dítěte a jeho paralely do vztahu Batmana s Robinem. Tato linka procházela celou knihou. Ne však ve formě jemných náznaků, ale naopak příliš očividné a nepříliš chytré hraní na tuto notu. Měl jsem problém dočíst a druhý díl neplánuji.

The first story was really well done, but the writing and art quality sipped quite a bit in the second. The first appearance of Ra’s Al-Ghul in the bonus issue is a reminder of how good Neal Adam’s art is.

One can never picture how a great villain is Ra’s al Ghul, until one read this. He’s the true heir of classic Fantomas, great precursor of modern supervillains. Great drawings, and still enough superhero silliness to have campy fun.

Some old school Batman, taking on Ra’s Al Ghul. It’s of its time, with some awkward dialogue and story. More of the vigilante detective than the superhero, but I don’t mind that aspect of classic Batman.
The physical book is very high quality hardcover and paper stock, and a pleasure to hold.

Two really unique and well written batman stories focused on Ra's Al Ghul. The art was pretty decent as well! I did find the overall writing and quality of Bride of the demon (the 2nd story) to be a tad weaker. Also, Batman just kills people here right? Like straight up just kills multiple people.

Excelente para conocer a Ra's al Ghul.

Dość nieaktualny i przestarzały komiks o współpracy Batmana z Ras'al'Ghulem i jego krótkim romansie z Talią. Graficznie jest słabo, akcja posuwa się nierówno i chaotycznie.

Retro mě nebaví kresbou ani příběhy a Ra's al Ghula taky moc nemusím.

Solid classic Batman.

That was quite weird and I dare say random at times. It's not like I've read many Batman stories but that felt kinda out of place.

Completamente olvidarte y predecible, el arte de la primera part eso sí muy bueno. Ya no los hacen asi

E em um tempo de outrora, a Terra dá à luz a um ser... Ghoul, que é 'demônio', deu origem a Ra's Al Ghul, a Cabeça do Demônio; aqui, ele se alia a Batman para enfrentar um inimigo em comum e oferece algo ao Detetive, que permanece feliz realmente... nem que seja por 10 páginas...
Como a história é uma trilogia dividida em 2 revistas (!), A Noiva do Demônio traz um Poço de Lázaro em plena Floresta Amazônica... mas para quem usá-lo? Os traços desta obra não parecem os mesmo de O Nascimento do Demônio; durante um ataque à Batcaverna, temos um vislumbre de várias versões do Batmóvel; uma fuga inacreditável de uma sala praticamente impossível de sair... e quem será o outro filho do Demônio?
