Families can talk about how Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham is based on a graphic novel. What would be the challenges in adapting a novel into a movie? Angered at being rejected by his idol, Nashton begins ranting to which Batman realizes that Nashton still has something planned. Upon realizing Batman hasn't figured out his next course of action, a delighted Nashton gives him one last clue by singing "Ave Maria," the song sung at the Mitchell's funeral to imply that the final part of the plan is mayor-elect Bella Real's assassination. However, Batman fails to realize this and exclaims, "What have you done!?" Josh: I agree with you all here. I got a sense of “the ends justify the means” but I also got a sense of “there’s nothing I can do.” I think there could have been a better outcome, and I’d almost be willing to bet that the team probably considered having Batman save the woman…but then you’d have to figure out what to do with her afterwards since they go directly into the sewer. Batman gets brainwashed in this story, and we see him like never before. He mows people down with a machine gun in one instance, and acts like a coward in many other instances. Not matter if you’re fan of Batman or not, if you wanted something out of your usual Batman’s story, where he’s not in total control, where he’s not having the upper hand, where he’s not prepared to the challenge, where he’s a fallible man…

Batman: The Cult is The Darkest Batman Story EVER - Screen Rant

Look at any natural disaster that occurs within the U.S. Whether it is wildfires, hurricanes, etc, when people are told to evacuate, many of them don’t. When asked why they didn’t leave, they often cite these two reasons, and ultimately end up needing to be rescued. Gotham City has many legends, and you can bet that many of those aren’t something good, and this one isn’t the exception… Batman: The Cult is a four-issued limited series published in DC's prestige format. Each issue of the series features a raised cover.Batman: The Cult is a four-issue comic book miniseries. It was published by DC Comics in their Prestige Format and released in 1988. It was written by Jim Starlin, illustrated by Bernie Wrightson, colored by Bill Wray and edited by Denny O'Neil. Cause he gets broken here. His spirit is crushed and he has a crime fighting impotence. And it’s great. The art is amazing for one. And it’s written very well with the exception of two instances. One being Batman’s loose use of guns here and he stood by at a point while people died. And it’s a cult, you already know how ridiculous it’s going to be.

My problems with this book are many: Batman gets captured by the brainwashed homeless. Ok, so apparently homeless people become highly effective fighters once brainwashed. Batman gets caught in the most banal way, a situation he's been in countless times, but somehow falls victim to this time. Then he undergoes brainwashing which includes torture, starvation and hallucinatory drugs - he couldn't escape in the days he was chained up? It was literally a pair of handcuffs around a metal pipe, surely he could've escaped? It’s yet another situation Batman's been in before countless times which he could've easily gotten out of. But then there wouldn't be a book if he escaped- it's so contrived and out of character.Zum Inhalt will ich nicht viel sagen, es handelt sich um eine durchaus komplexe Handlung, die den Namen Graphic Novel verdient. Insgesamt sehr düster, aber das ist bei Batman nicht ungewöhnlich. Dass die Story sehr kontrovers aufgenommen wurde und warum dem so war, läßt sich im Internet gut nachlesen. Bad: The dialogue can be really really outdated, making it hard to take serious at times. I also thought the ending became odd, and nothing like the Bruce we know. Even adding in gun use? Yeah...no.

broken. The second half however was very exciting and extremely dark. Batman The Cult also boasts a very menacing and EVIL antagonist.Agreed about the use of guns overall. Seems so cavalier about it. Would have liked more desperation- concern before he simply built bat tank version 1.0 Meanwhile in Arkham, Nashton is upset that his plan failed and wailing in his cell. A neighboring cell mate, who is largely obscured behind the steel door of his cell, proposes Nashton a riddle, asking, "Riddle me this. The less you have of me, the more I am worth." Nashton answers, "A friend." They laugh together.

This story also requires you to suspend your disbelief and buy into the fact that an army of homeless people armed with a few guns and a bunch of knives/blunt objects easily defeated the army and a special forces unit by taking potshots at them from the sewers/building windows. Much like Batman: Ego, this story starts by throwing us right into the middle of a conflict. Missing person reports are spilling into the GCPD, and with them is the confirmation that Batman is missing as well. In fact, he’s been missing for about a week.Matina: Listen, I am so happy we finally read something with a Robin featured. And I’m delighted it was Jason! I haven’t had a chance to read a lot of stories featuring him as Robin, so this was a lot of fun for me. The controversy comes, in part, from the murder -- the one Batman apparently commits. Armed with a machine-gun and hallucinating, Batman opens fire on what he thinks is the Joker. The dying man then changes to look like James Gordon and finally the truth is revealed. However, the murder is shown in such a fashion to one could argue Batman didn't actually do the killing. But those are just the hardcore unable to accept the truth -- Batman murdered a man while under the influence of a cult, incapable of controlling his actions or trusting his own senses. Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight is a well-loved series that featured stories that were instant hits, such as "Venom," but other tales from the series fell under the radar at the time. "Prey" is an example of the latter.
