review:
'Batman, Vol. 5' by Tom King with art by Joëlle Jones, Clay Mann, and Lee Weeks continues in the Tom King era of providing top notch Batman stories.
Batman is engaged to Catwoman. This news is dropped by Albert to a stunned group of protoges hanging out at Wayne Manor. More stunning is that Batman and Catwoman are on their way to confront Damian's mother and Batman's ex-wife, Talia Al Ghul. We aren't ever told why, but it's a fun confrontation between the ex-wife and the new one. Joëlle Jones' art in this story is outstanding and my favorite in this volume.
The second story involves Batman telling Superman about his new fiance. There is a lot of back and forth and a really funny sequence where everyone kind of switches places. It shows what great friends these two are. The art by Clay Mann is also good in this story.
The 3rd story goes back to the early meetings of Catwoman and Batman and their game of cat and mouse. It includes what I thought was a very poignant epilogue. The art by Lee Weeks works well for this.
Overall, I loved this story. I loved the nicknames and the humor. I love how you really care about these characters, and how the ending really got to me. I love the double meaning of the title.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
