Batman: Damned (2018-2019)

This is a good read and I like the art if you’re a Batman fan I’d say get it

Great read, excellent artwork

Batman Damned is a sort of sequel to Joker, also by Azzarello and Bermejo, though you don't need to read Joker to understand the story. I've read most or all of Azzarello's Batman books now as well as Luthor and the start of 100 Bullets and I've come to accept that his writing just doesn't connect with me as it clearly does with many others. It's gritty and grounded, but a little too rooted in exaggerated machismo for my tastes. It's a bit like all the worst aspects of Miller's writing but without the better aspects, for me. That said, the story here is decent and has some worthwhile ideas. Bermejo's art, on the other hand, is beautiful and the book is worth reading for that alone. There is no one else working in comics that draws them quite like Lee Bermejo.

Utterly amazing the successful attempt to cross the supernatural with Bruce's impending and unending resolve to reconciliate the madness and cruel justice surrounding his life's circumstances.. I almost feel as if Bruce would find successful closure within himself given the darkness and the allure of supernatural involved so scandalously and copiously here because it seems to give THE ONLY answers to the prince's highly strung sense of distress and deeply hidden trauma.. I guess it would take this level of madness in order to truly pluck out the seeds of horror and terror lurking in Bruce's heart.... Hats off to the writers balls in actually going toe to toe with this occultist approach.. The artwork... a SEMINAL PARADISE..

Great artwork as you'd expect from a Lee Bermejo book. I love both Batman and John Constantine so for me this was a marriage made in Heaven (or should that be Hell?)

What an amazingly gripping comic. Superb visually. Great story. This is the kind of Batman I’d love to see on the silver screen!

As others have stated, the artwork is gorgeous, and this giant hardback really shows off all the detail, the story however is rather pretentious and takes into the final pages to pick up where "joker" ended and rather than wrap anything up opts for a ambiguous "what's your interpretation?" cop out ending. Get it for the artwork, but get it from somewhere else, the hardback arrived from Amazon with the shrink wrap ripped and the dust jacket torn in one corner, I have had a few books arrive from Amazon in a sorry state, and knowing how they are stored in their f.c's , I don't have high hopes for this improving in the future.

A great buy, arrived very quickly. A+ thank you.

Bien empaquetado y enviado. Con las esquinas perfectas sin dañar

Batman: Damned is one of the most visually stunning Batman comics I've ever read. The artwork is absolutely phenomenal, with every page feeling like it belongs in a gallery instead of a comic shop. The story leans into horror, mystery, and psychological tension without ever forgetting who Batman is at his core. It's dark, atmospheric, and rewards readers who enjoy a more mature, supernatural take on the character. Whether you're a longtime Batman fan or just looking for something different, this is an unforgettable read. Highly recommended.

Ignoring the controversy of Bat privates, this is a definite worthy purchase for avid Bat fans. Art is dream-like, eerie and beautiful. Narrative is disjointed with purpose but the writing of Batman Elseworlds or otherwise kind of lacked, painting him as a bit more cruel, narcissistic and broken. The end kind of typifies sound and fury signifying nothing to quote Shakespeare. I liked the journey but did not necessarily love the destination.

Great story and artworks really loved the way the Joker is defined in the story i would recommend to everyone who loves this book as much as I do just go for it. The book is super sick and I would be thrilled to purchase more of this just loved it 🦇

it was a gift for a close friend and he was very happy
