This was OK. I've already forgotten what happened in it. It's pretty insubstantial but then so are an awful lot of graphic novels. I guess the main thing you want from a graphic novel is to have one or two bits that make you go "ah, yeah that's cool" and this had that so I wasn't disappointed.I'd recommend this to any fan of Supherhero graphic novels who has already read the big ones.Batman is right. He almost always is. The Justice League is a dangerous crowd, and if they ever turned on mankind, for whatever reason, the world would have a serious problem. It would be a most bloody business; thus, safeguards need to be put into place. Batman must plan for the possibility; he must have a justice prepared as a last resort. He has studied his colleagues; he has learnt their weakness: he knows how to eliminate each and every one of them. But his plans fall into the wrong hands.
Book Info: This collection contains JLA issues #42-46 and material from JLA 80-Page Giant issue #1.ABSOLUTE RATING: {2/5 stars}STANDARDIZED RATING: <2/5 stars>Before the main arc begins, there are some short stories that precede it, but Ill just leave that discussion for the postscript. But as for the main story: As the power hungry and immortal ruler of the infamous League of Assassin's, Ra's al Ghul is one of Batman's most dangerous foes. For his latest plot against humanity, Ra's
I remember reading this trade back when it was first published, and enjoying it. Years later, I've become a slightly more critical reader and I've been reading some much better stuff. The end result is that I didn't like it quite as much as I had back then.The plot is not the problem here. The basic idea (Batman keeps secret files about each member of the JLA, including his strategies for defeating them) is fantastic, totally in character, and probably lead, in small part, to the events of the
Somehow, I prefer the movie adaptation JL Doom to the comic.
Starting with a story that smacks of environmental allegory (but takes a surprising turn), then gets into the League-changing campaign of Ghul.I read this once before, and thought it was really crazy to see what happens when Batman's worst attacks were used in this way. And the impact is still the same - but the pedestrian exposition that follows - the equivalent of the supervillain explaining to the hero how he defeated the smartest enemies - is more than just superfluous. It's outright painful
I found the first story very intriguing (with the world/civilization in a brain tumor and the parallels it had with Superman's origin story). The Tower of Babel section was excellent - and I really enjoyed Batman's files being used against the JLA. But the best part of this collection was a story featuring Aquaman and Wonder Woman. Hilarious!
