Posso fare una domanda ignorante?
Cosa significa SJW?
Cercando su internet, sarebbe "social justice warrior". Ma che significa che non sarà un SJW Batman? Perché avrebbe dovuto esserlo?
:hmm:

Letto #1
N-Non mi aspettavo di leggere qualcosa del genere... :o
Sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso...ma di molto!
Purtroppo ho letto abbastanza storie scritte da coloro che generalmente sono dei artists, e mi hanno quasi sempre deluso, quindi tengo sempre le aspettative abbastanza basse, ma ormai sto cambiando opinione...

No no sti cazzi, gente come Manapul su Trinity e ora Sean G. Murphy (con questo singolo numero) hanno mostrato un dito medio a tanti altri writers.

Porca merda il modo in cui ha affrontato certi aspetti della mitologia di Bats era...fantastico.
Dopo 78 anni e dopo più di mille Bat-Storie, ci sono certe cose che ormai fanno parte del DNA di ogni lettore, nel senso che ormai non ci facciamo più caso a certe cose e ogni volta che uno cerca di gestire alcuni aspetti seriamente, quindi non come se fosse parte del mondo dei comics, ma quello reale, bhe diventa tutto molto più interessante! :zuzu:

Questo per dire che, dopo aver letto quella bellissima premessa di White Knight e questo primo numero, Murphy non vuole sprecare questa occasione, anzi...! :ahsisi:

C'è solo un piccolo particolare che non mi ha convinto molto, non a caso è legato a questo pseudo-realismo, specialmente col pg del Joker.
Spiacente, ma non sei autorizzato a visualizzare il contenuto degli spoiler.

Probabilmente è solo la classica ingenuità per portare avanti la storia, poi essendo un elseworld, magari è anche un Joker differente e non hai mai fatto determiante cose, ma...naaah. :nono:
Ci sono tante chicce, dalla Tas, Batman di Burton e pure Batman & Robin, oddio intendo solo per la questione
Spiacente, ma non sei autorizzato a visualizzare il contenuto degli spoiler.

Matite da sballo, su quello non avevo dubbi, per il resto....gran bella sorpresa! :clap:

Batman: White Knight #1
Written by Sean Murphy
Art by Sean Murphy and Matt Hollingsworth
Lettering by Todd Klein
Published by DC Comics
Review by Pierce Lydon
'Rama Rating: 5 out of 10

Sean Murphy is an exciting talent, and he has been for years. DC decided to give the writer/artist a chance to tell his own Batman story, and it's hard not to see the appeal. Murphy's unique style is a match made in heaven for the noir grit of the Dark Knight's world. But can the script stand up? Batman: White Knight is bit of a flip on the regular Batman/Joker dichotomy that sees the Clown Prince of Crime as the savior of Gotham and public perception on his side. Unfortunately, getting the characters to that place is a clumsy affair, and the overall concept might hew a little too close to an old arc from Legends of the Dark Knight to be considered truly original.

One thing is clear from the get-go: Sean Murphy was made for Gotham City. His work is blends seamlessly with the tone of Batman's world, so it's not hard to see why DC would want him on a project like this. For one, Murphy has always been a master of setting, so while you don't necessarily get a sense of exactly what how Gotham is laid out or what parts of the city characters are in, you don't really need them. It feels and looks like Gotham, and that's enough as the plot is barreling forward. It's not always setting as much as it's the mood he's able to convey, though. A scene with Jack Napier sitting in a room surrounded by Batman paraphernalia is eerie and unsettling, drawing your eye with incredible detail and composition. Matt Hollingsworth's colors also go a long way to helping communicate the tone of the story, painting Batman's scenes in a red that screams off the page in comparison to the scenes that follow.

Murphy might also be one of the few artists to make vehicle chases in comic books compelling, in part because he draws really awesome vehicles. His Batmobile is a surefire standout here. And in a story that pits two of fiction's greatest rivals against each other, Murphy deftly adapts their relationship into his visual language as well. Murphy's script called for a more austere and brutal vision of Batman, so the Dark Knight is presented as a hulking figure that towers menacingly over a prim, polished Jack Napier. From the opening pages, it's clear that this isn't going to be the kind of Batman story you're used to seeing.

But what about the story itself? Well, if the Joker being cured and going good sounds familiar to you, you might have read J.M. DeMatteis' "Going Sane" story from Legends of the Dark Knight. But at this juncture, Murphy's story only bears a broad resemblance to that one. A lot of Batman stories hinge on the question of "who needs who more, the hero or the villains?" and no character has a more intimate relationship with that dichotomy than the Joker. Murphy leans into that a bit, but the way he frames his story makes getting to that "Joker goes good" premise feel clumsy. This is Batman who seemingly will stop at nothing to get to the Joker, but the text goes back and forth on whether or not that fervor is justified.

According to the characters, Joker has "been terrorizing Gotham for years," but they claim they've only been able to convict him of armed robbery. Batman isn't officially part of the police but Murphy frames his assault on the Joker as similar to real-world instances of police brutality, right down to Joker's final words before passing out being "...can't...breathe." Then with a tried-and-true means of Batman exposition lays out the two sides of the debate with a TV debate that has one pundit decrying "SJWs" and the other defending the Joker. It's hard to know what Murphy intends to actually say with this work because it's so generally clumsy. Getting the characters to this place feel really inorganic even if this is an Elseworlds story. And because the entire issue is ostensibly a flashback, we don't know what the driving force of the main story really is. We just have a notion of what got us to the first scene.

There's a lot in Murphy's first issue that begs the reader to suspend their disbelief past the breaking point, and that's where the story doesn't really work. The inaction of characters that obviously have a problem with this Batman's methods seems bizarre and out-of-place. The parallels to real-life police brutality are real and textual, but somewhat untethered. Murphy has presented us with something, but he might have done just as well to drop us into the story and let us find out what got us there as the main plot progressed. However, Murphy and Hollingsworth's artistic contributions are really a joy to behold. A single page that basically sums up Jack Napier's backstory is succinct and beautiful. The action is visceral and the characters are expressive. There's a lot to like here, so hopefully the story itself catches up to the artistry on display.

Piuttosto, sapete come è in Inglese?
Molto facile.

Io adoro questo lato di Batman. Adoro questa versione di Batman.
Il vigilante buonista dal cuore d'oro mi fa venire l'acido lattico.
Avanti così!
