Get a first look at BATMAN: STREETS OF GOTHAM #1

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

By Alex Segura

There’s a new Batman patrolling the streets of Gotham City — how do the police, criminals and Joe Citizen react? How do the denizens of Gotham City feel about the new vigilante? Can he control the criminal element as effectively as Bruce Wayne?

The acclaimed DETECTIVE COMICS team of Paul Dini and Dustin Nguyen reunite to tell Batman tales from another perspective, as we see Dick Grayson learn the ropes and how the people around him deal with it. Also, because we’re all about giving you tons of story with each issue, this also kicks off the MANHUNTER c0-feature, written by Marc Andreyko with art by Georges Jeanty. Click below for a first look.

BATMAN: STREETS OF GOTHAM #1 hits 6/17.

    While I love both Paul Dini’s writing and Dustin Nguyen’s art, and I’m still looking forward to this a lot, I’m disappointed that that Batman reads and looks exactly like Bruce Wayne Batman.

    And Damien looks exactly like Tim Drake; at first I thought it was Drake, in a Red Robin transition costume.

  3. Websnap says on :

    I love it!

    @ Keith: I think he reads and acts like Bruce because he’s trying to be and act like bruce, so no one can tell the difference. I think the books meant from Dick’s point of view (Batman & Robin, Batman) will see a difference in character more than the others, just because the whole point of him taking up that mantel was to make people think Batman didn’t go anywhere.

    “While I love both Paul Dini’s writing and Dustin Nguyen’s art, and I’m still looking forward to this a lot, I’m disappointed that that Batman reads and looks exactly like Bruce Wayne Batman.”

    That’s kind of the idea. Criminals don’t fear Batman because he looks like a bat. They fear him because he’s Batman. If Dick would seem different, he may as well just be Nightwing or Robin.

    Some pages of Manhunter by Georges Jeanty would be nice too…

    Paul Dini! There are other characters in the world than Harley Quinn!

    “Paul Dini! There are other characters in the world than Harley Quinn!”

    Do you go read Wonder Woman expecting to found Green Lantern? No!

    So why is so strange that Harley Quinn appears in the book were she’s one of the main characters?

  9. bohemiacomicsreader says on :

    DC has just been really good of late, a new Batman, Superman on New Krypton, the prelude to Blackest Night in Green Lantern, co-features what’s not to love?

  10. embee says on :

    Gotta say that Dustin Nguyen is one of the best artists at DC.

  11. zumi says on :

    At least one of Dini’s titles will have good art! Dustin Nguyen rocks.

  12. kauffinbauchser says on :

  13. Websnap says on :
