"Two of Gotham City's edgiest heroes, Red Hood and Grifter, cross paths with Batman himself in this collection of stories from the new anthology series Batman: Urban Legends. Two top comics writers, Matthew Rosenberg and Chip Zdarsky, enter the world of Gotham City with new tales of Batman, Red Hood, and Grifter in the first volume collecting stories from the thrilling new anthology series Batman: Urban Legends. First, writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Eddy Barrows chronicle Red Hood's investigation of a new drug in Gotham City called Cheerdrops. But this night will NOT go as planned-and as a result, he will end up back in Batman's crosshairs! Then, writer Matthew Rosenberg joins forces with artist Ryan Benjamin for a new tale of Cole Cash-better known as Grifter. Picking up story points from recent Batman issues, readers will learn why Cole is in Gotham to begin with. Plus, discover the truth about the mysterious organization known as HALO, and witness round two of Batman versus Grifter."-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Jason Todd's tale is a sequel to Batman: A Death in the Family, with Jason having repeated flashback to the events of that title, as he copes with how he and his foster father Bruce Wayne have failed to fully and mutually process their feelings about what happened. Jason is also having second thoughts about his use of lethal force in stopping criminals when he is confronted with some repercussions he has previously ignored. And there's a new villain named Cheer running around who isn't particularly important.
I've never liked Jason Todd, and though Zdarsky comes as close as anyone to changing that, he still falls short and I would be happiest if Jason just walked off panel one day and never returned. But at least I don't actively hate Jason Todd the way I do Grifter. I really dislike the decision to shove him into Gotham City in the "Future State" books and continue with him here, a bad character in a bad story. Unreadable garbage.
Batman: Urban Legends is basically a revival of the old Batman Family giant-size comic book anthology I enjoyed as a kid back in the 1970s. Each issue has four stories featuring different characters, so even though I didn't much like this first collection, it's only half of the material that appeared in the first six issues, and I'll probably still try the next collection since it will have a different mix of characters and creators.
FOR REFERENCE:
Collects only the Red Hood and Grifter features originally published in single magazine form in Batman: Urban Legends 1-6. Does not include all material published in those issues. (The excluded stories featured Harley Quinn, Outsiders, Oracle, Lady Shiva, Batwing, Tim Drake, Batgirls, Zealot, and Black Canary.)
