review:
'Batman and the Justice League Vol. 1' by Shiori Teshirogi is a manga take on DC comics that's been translated for American audiences from it's original publication in Red magazine.
A young boy from Japan who has missing parents follows the trail to Gotham city. After a nasty run in with Gotham police who have been "jokerized," he is rescued by Batman. Batman knows a thing about not having parents, so he takes an interest in the boy. A bigger plot is uncovered involving a new beverage that the Joker is selling, and supervillains interested in ley lines. Along the way Superman, Wonder Woman and others show up.
It gets cool points from me for being a manga. I like the idea of how other cultures interpret the things I like. The story is a bit weird, and the characters feel a bit flat. I'm not sure I really care about this boy from Tokyo, and it's not clear yet why all the other Justice League characters are hanging around. I found it interesting and entertaining enough.
I received a review copy of this manga from DC Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manga.
