So right now in the DCYOU series, there's a new Batman (*SPOILER*), which is Gordon. I personally like the idea, since it could add great character development to an already great character.
The series is just starting, so I'm open-minded and looking forward to where the story will go. In the comic community, there's currently a big divide as die-hard fans are in an uproar to this new Batman. Time will tell, how this story turns out, as right now, it is BIG.
However, this blog post is about what happened before the new Batman.
So, I personally didn't like the Volume 1: Court of Owls arc. I ranked it 7 out of 10. (Nerds/Batman fans, please don't send me hatemail...leave it in the comments). I thought it took too long (11 issues, I only really liked issues #0 and #10) to get to the point; the end was rushed and not as satisfying as it could have been. What I hate the most was that it was just a set-up book to Volume 2: City of Owls, which I haven't read yet, and because Court of Owls was so over-hyped, I don't want to read at all.
So I've asked if I should just skip to the Volume 3: Death of the Family arc...Batman fans claim I'll miss out on important/needed info...So I've been stuck on whether or not I should bother continuing the series. I mean, why waste $20 on a series I'm not invested in.
LUCKILY, my best friend Irene bought me Volume 5: Zero Year: Dark City, which now gives me a reason to buy Volume 4: Zero Year : Secret City...I am really looking forward to the Zero Year arc, as it describes Batman's first fight and his involvement with the Red Hood Gang.
If the Zero Year arc sucks, I'll be sure to let you know here on my blog. I will also stop reading the entire series, and just wait to see if this Gordon arc is worth my time. Stay tuned for more!
