It's not everyday that you celebrate Batman's 75th Anniversary... And things are just getting started with all the celebrations and nods to the Caped Crusader's milestone year, not to mention all the other stuff fans can look forward to in the long run. That being said, it's also been a long time since I've reviewed a comic book issue proper... And I'm glad that one of the most anticipated new titles finally hit this week in comic book stores, namely DC Comics' new and weekly ongoing Bat-title "Batman: Eternal".
Truth be told, I've mellowed down on the weekly comic pull list and have made it a preference to pick up collected editions instead... But I couldn't deny picking up and checking out the first issue to this new ambitious series, which follows the Pre-New 52 formula of having a new issue each week as started by the likes of "52" and "Countdown" before it. With famed and current Batman creative talents such as Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Ray Fawkes, John Layman, Tim Seeley, and Jason Fabok onboard, how can this new Batman title not appeal to anyone who's a fan of the Caped Crusader and his adventures? Is it an easy jump-in point for veterans or even if you have no current knowledge of The Batman and his activities? Let's find out with a review on this new comic book baby that celebrates "Batman 75".
SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW OF COURSE, so read at your own risk.
