We have a proposal!
Tom King writes Batman like a fan not like a writer, and it's honestly coming out great for me.
I am sure some of these questions or all of them have been asked at one point or another.
Why do you do this?
Are you happy?
Are you scared?
Would your parents be proud of you?
What do you want?
Yeah, sure, some of them are repetitive.
Some of them might even give the same answers we got before.
But some questions get new answers.
What do you want? He wants a cat and instead of adopting one he proposed to one.

I'M SCREAMING AND I MAY NEVER STOP SCREAMING

If you ever got a chance to read New 52's Batman and Robin #18 written by Tomasi, read it. That is a silent masterpiece, a requiem and an aftermath of an event that broke (not the Bane-broke one) the Bat. Now, Batman issue 24 of DC Rebirth era does not have the same beats as Batman and Robin #18, but it is also a masterpiece. It is a careful study of what it is like as the Batman.
This issue doesn't have a villain. Everything is peaceful in Gotham. That makes Batman 24 very special. It is also beautifully drawn, thanks to Danny Miki and David Finch. One thing that I felt with this issue is that it is very fresh and original, despite the fact that I've been reading Batman comics for almost a decade now.
The ending is a bit of a cliffhanger, but IF , then the Batman comics landscape will change for the better. And I do solemnly hope that DC goes with this hopeful and definitely happier route.

DAMMIT MAKE-OUT ALREADY :) :)
Even if the marriage wont happen(I hope It will) or maybe getting a divorce for some reason in the future(hope not) simply thinking about Bruce Wayne settling down and finally thinking about his personal happiness is POSSIBLY THE BIGGEST STEP ON BATMAN'S STORY EVER.

This issue should come up with a manual on how to handle your feelings, and how to survive until the next one. Still unsure what made me sob the most between those holy last panels*, or Bruce admitting he's terrified TWICE including once to the only person (apart from Alfred) I truly want him to be open&comfortable&himself with. And now, excuse me while I go send prayers to the gods of DC comics in the insane hopes they're not toying with us and that they'll truly let Selina&Bruce be happy for once in their life.
*Bless the artist btw, the wonderfulness of the drawings truly fits their entire relationship.

Bruce faces his greatest fear
Batman faces greatest fear and it is not one the crazy-ass, super powered freaks that are trying to take Gotham. I didn't see that coming.

Some of these panels were just amazing. There was a lot of emotional depth in this issue and that next to last page and last page was amazing.

BEST ISSUE EVER!
Also: Knowing that Sarah J. Maas and Marie Lu will write the YA adaptations of these two? It makes this couple of DC rival Superman and Lois!

It May not be truly a 5 star book , but Screw you ! I LOVED THIS .
So basically the book features Batman and a healthy again Gotham Girl talking , talking about happiness , why Batman does what he does , is Batman happy? , Does Batman deserves happiness ? and it all culminates in a stunning last page , that I won't give much away (that is if you haven't already seen the countless spoiler images doing the round on internet) but it's something that every Batman fan had wanted to see happen for a long long time ever since they started reading Batman .
Their is a philosophical interchange between Batman and Gotham girl that really continues in the same vein as the previous The Brave and the Mold storyline and it really showcases Tom King's strength in writing such stories . The art is nothing to brag about but certainly the last panel was beautiful .
Also , was it just me or did someone notice that the history remembered by Batman and Selina are different as per the penultimate panel in this book . Something to do with Watchmen maybe? We'll find out soon enough I guess.
Also Also I just know Tom King is going to ruin this in a brutal heart breaking manner . 😭 Either way Highly recommended for all Batman fans out there

I usually don't review individual issues of comics, but I had to make an exception in this case. I'll try my best to review this without spoiling it. Basically, Batman takes a huge step forward in his emotional development, and comes to realize that there is something that he must do. This was all thanks to Gotham Girl's conversation with Batman on what to do in life. It turns out that Gotham Girl was the counselor that Batman needed. My hope is that the events put into place in this issue develop in a positive direction. Batman could be so much stronger if he has more stable relationships around him.

é uma edição boa, eu só não curti muito os diálogos em certas partes.

A lot of development for Batman as a character, and Gotham Girl too.

Oh my god!
Bruce Wayne faces his greatest fear and that was not a villain, it's what Bruce really scared of.
Great issue and an awesome ending, can't wait to see what will happen next, I think war is coming and the Bruce has to suit up.

I don't understand the good review from the last two issue. It just make not sense to me. Batman became a love story without action our villain. And the prelude to the ending... the writers seem to have no clue what to do next and they kind of wasting some time to bring them self back on their feet but they need to do it fast!

Solid build up and execution. Interested in seeing where this storyline goes in #33.

I could say this came out of nowhere and that King's dialogue continues to walk a tightrope between baroque and asinine, but this is everything young me ever wanted so I'm just going to enjoy it.

L’intero albo è un dialogo introspettivo tra Batman e una rinsavita Gotham Girl. Esso altro non è che un lungo ragionamento su cosa voglia dire essere Batman e sul perché Batman, nonostante ci provi costantemente, non riesca ad essere felice.
E qui vediamo proprio la fragilità del Cavaliere Oscuro, ed è simbolico che questo suo mettersi a nudo, questo suo atto di sincerità, si compia di giorno e non nell’enigmaticità e nel mistero della notte, dove invece si svolge parallelamente un incontro tra lo stesso Batman e Catwoman, in cui entrambi prenderanno la decisione più importante delle loro vite.
Il tutto viene però parzialmente sminuito dai disegni di Clay Mann, che sembra essere incapace di disegnare le donne in maniera espressiva e naturale, trovandosi invece a suo agio con i tizi in costume.

What is the greatest fear of a guy like Batman? He has defeated the fear itself- Scarecrow , so what could be that makes Bruce Wayne, a guy that uses fear as a weapon, fearful? You would have to read this issue for the answer.
Tom King's writing is as good as it has been in his better works (Vision and The Omega Men) and the art by David Finch and Jordie Bellaire shines out, but the greatest thing about this issue is the direction in which current development could take Batman's mythos to.

*Sigh* Tom King. Trying to write about life goals and love... Just because of that, this issue was like one big torment to me. Uwe Boll can't make a good Forrest Gump adaptation. Tom King can't write anything besides cheesy action. When he tries... it feels awful. All those panels that were supposed deep and touching... made me want to kill myself with one epic facepalm... I hate to be the guy, who laughs in the theater during the dramatic scene... but honestly, Tom King gave me no choice. So, sorry, but LOL.

Gerçekten Batman'in en büyük korkusuna ve O'nunla yüzleşmesine şahit olmak. Uzun zaman sonra Gotham'ı bir geçici sulh döneminde görmek. Etkileyici bir sayı idi. Ve evet fırtına öncesi bir sessizlikti. 8.8/10

This won't last. Things like this never do. But, man, it was fun.
The Bat and the Cat. Something I've wanted to see since Batman the Animated Series and all that delightful banter in the early '90s. This is good stuff from King.

I loved this issue. King is great at nailing dialogue and this issue is full of it. Then we get the ending. It is great to see this side of Batman and having him focus on other aspects of his life. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Dang, King does it again! This issue was so good. I loved the dialogue between Gotham Girl and Batman and the art was phenomenal! I am officially in love with this run of Batman.

A very dialogue heavy deep emotional issue.A monumental last page of the comic.Worthy of 5 stars.
