Detective Comics 2025 Annual #1 - "Batman, Do Not Solve My Murder"

[laughing_tree]

I had a really good time kind of finding my level with Batman. I think the notes I got back for the first draft was that my Batman was a little too chummy and a little too quirky and a little too friendly. He needs to be a little bit spikier. And I was like, "Yeah, I get that." -- Al Ewing

I'm glad they still reference Alfred's cucumber sandwiches.

And Bruce is right. He REALLY should destroy those pages.

Damn. Might have to get this--classic 70's World's Greatest Detective. And as a bonus, no Joker.

(Posthumous) character surnamed " Milligan " in a Batman story involving esoteric, even arcane, knowledge.

Batman solving locked room mysteries and defeating villains with trickery and history knowledge?

I love it.

I won't go so far as to say this is the best Batman story I've read in a long time, but I think it's definitely my favorite.

Top to bottom, this just feels like what Batman is -- or, at least, should be.

Batman stops the villian with "Garbage in, garbage out"? How retro!

I really liked this story, definitely the best Batman stand alone in at least a few years.
