Gather Batman: The Wrath (Batman Confidential, #3) Crafted By Tony Bedard Expressed As Volume

stories,years apart. The first involves Batman and the "other", Written by Mike Barr, and illustrated by Michael Golden, The second story, told in four parts, involves Batman, Nightwing, and possibly the return of the Wrath, This time written by Tony Bedard and illustrated by Rags Morales,

Batman and the Wrath have two things in common, The date of their parents deaths, and the cut of their costumes, Otherwise, one fights criminals, and the other is a criminal,

Batman and Nightwing become embroiled in the return of a major nemesis who was long believed to be dead: The Wrath has returned, and he knows too much about Batman and the deaths of his parents.
Os desenhos são maravilhoso, e Por isso ganhouestrelas, A história é bem clichê e simples demais, Superman had Bizarro. Green Lantern had Sinestro. Now Batman has 'The Wrath,' a doppelganger of sorts, Whereas Bruce Wayne's childhood trauma sent him in a good ahem! direction, his opposite number became misguided and has a chip on his shoulder the size of Texas.


In this twopart saga first one published in ', the second from aboutyears later we also learn about some skeletons in Commissioner Gordon's closet.
Leslie Thompkins who is wonderful in a Aunt May Parker way adds some muchneeded kindness and heart amidst the testosterone, Oh, and Nightwing looking like he's ready to fillin for Deney Terrio on Dance Fever just kidding, NW, you're a good guy shows up in the latter story to lend capable assistance.
Not a bad book, but at the end it felt like something was missing,

I love the old Batman comics, Don't get me wrong, I really love the NewScott Snyder Batman, but there is something so charming and sweet about the early Batman stuff, I don't know what it is, maybe he was more human Had more emotion More empathy He showed surprise and regret, Something.

There's ayear gap between The Wrath and The Wrath Child, the two stories that encompass this book, Which is good because at the end of The Wrath you don't have any idea why he was after Jim or killing cops or who he was.
The Wrath Child wraps everything up for us and brings some closure to the story arc while also giving Robin/Nightwing a part in the story that he didn't have before.


A quick, but satisfying read, For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, In the case of this Batman volume, that opposite reaction is dubbed the Wrath, The orphaned son of a pair of criminals, an unnamed child dedicated his life to the destruction of law enforcement, With an origin story that syncs up perfectly to Bruce Wayne's tragic night to the very day the Wrath spent his debut targeting Jim Gordon and eventually meeting a fateful end.
Yet the identity was resurrected by Elliot Cadwell, who had been groomed in much the same way that Batman prepared Robin, Acting as a dark reflection of the Dynamic Duo, the Wrath was to represent the polar opposite of the Batman, Despite presenting a unique perspective, the forced origin of the original Wrath proved difficult to swallow, The career of the second version does allow the possibility of a more realistic take on the violent assassin, yet falls flat in characterization, The only wrath felt here is that of a comic reader seeking a better Batman story, Okay, so it may not be classical literature, but it's a light read if you're into super heroes like I am, Well, I did have trouble with having a point of reference for the villain in this fourpart story bound into one graphic novel, The villain, the capedcrusader's opposite, shares a similar background but is out for revenge and it's against Commissioner Gordon! The first part of the story takes place without Batman's sidekick, Robin.
But when the boy wonder returns it's as an adult hero now named Nightwing about time he grew up! Nothing that special to be honest,.pretty cool, just refreshing myself before reading the Wrath's debut in Newcontinuity, Once again Batman story that felt old, dozens of times read before, This made me believe even more that I'm never going to be a Batman fan, Even though New! Green Lanterns have been good, I'm still Marvel man, Batman and Superman are just boring, This graphic novel contains two stories, i, e. , The Player on the Other Side "TPOS" Batman Specialand Wrath Child Batman: Confidential,

I've never read anything written by Barr but TPOS is pretty good considering that it was written inI'm not really a fan ofs comics.
However, the real gem of this graphic novel is Wrath Child, which is a continuation of TPOS, Wrath Child is a Batman Confidential story, I'm not sure if DC Comics intended to create a sequel when they released TPOS since there is around ayear gap between the two stories, but Wrath Child fills in the gap in TPOS.
It also explains why Gordon left for Chicago, Also, Rags Morales' art is amazing,

The Wrath currently has a,score on Goodreads and I don't really know why, For me, this is definitely an underrated Batman story, A surprisingly decent, if overwrought pair of stories featuring a villain who had no fucking reason to exist, Barr and Bedard are members of that group of solid, workmanlike writers along with Wolfman, Wein, Jurgens, and many others whose work rarely if ever transcends but is always readable and forwardmoving.
Imagine my embarrassed surprise when I

Chose this because I thought it was Huntress on the cover and later realized it was actually "The Wrath"
and
Realized, upon coming here to review, that I had actually read this before and reviewed it.
Here is what I said the first time:

Nice backstory, and awesome villains, Welldone!

I agree with myself, The villain, Wrath, also lost his parents the same night as Bruce Wayne, but they were criminals, And he vowed the same kind of revenge, and underwent training as extensive, Great premise! Awesome Villains!

At least I'm consistent,

Now to search for a bonafide Huntress comic, . . Goodreads needs half, this was more than abut not quite a, Have the Eaglemoss version.
Pretty good I think the concept was better than the execution though, .
