THERE'S A NEW BAT IN TOWN

Jim Gordon has spent years patrolling the streets of Gotham City as one of its top cops. Now he's doing it from inside a Batsuit.

With Bruce Wayne sidelined-perhaps permanently-the former Commissioner has taken on the mantle of the Bat, with a state-of-the-art suit of robotic armor and the full support of the Gotham City Police Department to back him up. But when you become the Batman, there's a deadly learning curve-and an army of crazed criminals waiting to take you down.

Can Gordon keep up? Or will his enemies and allies alike clip the new Batman's wings before he even gets off the ground?

Find out in BATMAN: DETECTIVE COMICS VOL. 8-thrillingly written by Francis Manapul, Brian Buccellato, and Peter J. Tomasi, and stunningly illustrated by Fernando Blanco and Marcio Takara, it's a bold new chapter in the saga of Gotham's guardian! Collects DETECTIVE COMICS SNEAK PEEK and #41-47!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...a great way to give the fan favorite characters of the GCPD and the wider cast outside of the Bat-family a chance to shine." --Comic Book Resources

"...this is the start to something pretty great." --Comic Vine

"Detective Comics has been one of DC's sure-fire Batman titles for a while now, and now that Jim Gordon is in the suit, the streak is still alive and well." --Newsarama

Anyone who likes Batman or detective stories will like this book. Has all the elements of a good detective novel with the added medium of comic images. Just like any good detective story, not all is what it seems & a big reveal comes at the end.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solid nothing memorable
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2016

Volume 8 was somewhat of a let down Imo compared too the previous two volumes. The first story line has Jim Gordon as Batman and features Harvey Bullock as a main character. Good story. Great too see Bullock get a lot of time. The next story line is a 2 parter as Bat-Gordon teams up with the Justice League. This was OK but pretty forgetable. The last story is a single issue from the Robin story line, you'll have too buy the collection too read all the other issues.

Overall average volume too me.
