DESCRIPTION:
This is a wonderful companion to Peace on Earth, and, I feel, even outdoes it. We see Bruce decide to try and take on crime in more than just the traditional batarang-to-the-head way. But in War on Crime, Ross and Dini present Batman--and just as importantly, Bruce Wayne--in a manner I at least have never seen before. One of the finest Batman stories ever written. 68 beautiful, breathtaking pages by Ross.. With a character as well-trod as Batman, it's probably tempting to say that there's no more to be said about the character, no new angles to view him from--all that's left to do is subtle variations on what's been done before. For the first time in a long time to this Batman reader, it's Bruce Wayne that seems like the real person, not Batman. While the story is ultimately uplifting, it does end with a exquisitely beautiful melancholy moment, a moving evocation of Batman's lonely quest. Batman: War on Crime - 1999 The second of the excellent Alex Ross/Paul Dini books
"Wow" according to Corum Seth Smith. "War on Crime" is less of a comic and more of an art collection. Each page exudes such intriguing detail and captivating motion that your eyes are drawn to each page. The characters come to life; it is as though you can see the grief that contorts Batman's face as he battles the evils that killed his parents. Paul Dini is the primary figure behind "Batman: The Animated Series." To me, that legacy of excellence has successfully been carried over to ". Christopher White said Plot? Who cares?. I have read many reviews of this book and many dwell on the thin plot to detract from the work. That line of thought is entirely moot as everyone, unless they are lying, picked this up for the artwork of Alex Ross.Just as he did with Marvels, Ross makes live action movies that happen to be still paintings; and better than Tim Burton ever could (even though I like Tim Burton).My two favorite pieces in the book are pretty basic images. One, the cover . David Suiter said Amazing Alex Ross Paintings. The paintings of Batman by Alex Ross would have been enough to give this vbook a four on my rating, but the writing of Paul Dini put this over the top and I really enjoyed the story. Really well done pictures and smooth story telling. An inside look at Batman's thoughts and why he has waged his war on crime. The giant sixe of this book only enhances the great pictures allowing for the art to really grab you. Highly recomended.
