Batman: Second Chances

Product Information

Before undergoing surgery meant to remove both his disfigurement and his alternate personality, Two-Face/Harvey Dent is kidnapped by persons unknown. My script made it clear that the joke was that they were identical, just a line-up of Marcel Marseau’s. En general la calidad de las historias está muy bien, con buen arte, sin demasiadas explicaciones de más y mucho énfasis en la vida personal de Batman y Robin y las motivaciones para tener un nuevo compañero después de haber dejado a Dick Grayson de lado unos números atrás.

What is fun about the collection is seeing the character of Jason Todd get a re-written to after the DC line reboot.

Thorne just laughs at the thought and has his thugs take Robin to the Gotham Gate Bridge to throw him into the river.

Although they appear to reconcile at the end, some can view this as one of the early signs of tension between the pair that eventually drives Robin towards his solo career as Nightwing in The New Batman Adventures (1997). It had great interaction between Dick and Bruce, but more than that I loved the interaction between Dick and Jason. The first story seeks to correct some pre-Crisis elements surrounding Dick Grayson’s retirement as Robin.People don't make the connection of Batman visiting the Crime Alley site where Bruce Wayne's parents got shot every year on that very same anniversary? All of these stories never quite feel modern, as with the work being published in Detective Comics at the same time. Batman: Second Chances is a collection of some of the earliest post- Crisis stories of Batman (Volume 1).

I think any fan of Bronze Age Batman can have fun with this, but the only people who need this volume are completionists and like me they will disappointed by the glaring omissions. Resurrecting him as the antihero Red Hood was an egregious mistake, as his death had more meaning to the mythos than his brief life ever did, and should've been held sacrosanct. The acceptance of the Robin mantle passing from one to the next could not be clearer, and they panels on which these take place beautifully show how the end of one era has been accepted and the dawn of another era has been celebrated by the participants themselves.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. It isn't all bad, you get a few crazy scenes like Robin covering Batman by firing a 12 gauge at police officers. Here we learn that during one of Batman's annual visits to Crime Alley, the area of Gotham in which Thomas and Martha Wayne were murdered, someone had the brass balls to steal the tires off of the Batmobile.

I liked seeing Dick interacting with Jason, hearing how Dick had to overcome his own inner demons and doubts after Robin was taken away from him, and watching him confront Bruce over the matter. But when a bullet fired from the Joker's gun nearly clips Robin's wings for good, their partnership is severed, and Batman resumes his war on crime alone. This was one of my all-time favorites as a kid -- I read it and reread it often -- and I was relieved to discover how well it holds up. This collected edition chronicles some of the key adventures in the short-lived career of Jason Todd, the second Robin, after his origin story was completely rebooted in the wake of Crisis on Infinite Earths.When Batman goes into action on his own and meets a young hoodlum named Jason Todd, he’s determined to guide Jason away from a life of crime.
