Ottimo che esca anche stampato, aspetterò la raccolta.

A questo stavo pensando e sono rimasto "sorpreso" 

Mi sa che poi dovrò prenderla appena la portano in italia

How do you make an ordinary Batman story seem extraordinary? Throw Tradd Moore into the mix. With a hyper-kinetic style I haven't seen since the days of Damion Scott, Moore's iconoclastic artwork makes Legends of the Dark Knight #22 a fun, if bite-sized, foray into the streets of Gotham City.

With Batman on the prowl for a wood-carving serial kidnapper, Moore makes the Dark Knight's search look dynamic. To be fair, his character design can be an acquired taste, with some pinched-looking faces that actually remind me a bit of Chew's Rob Guillory. But that doesn't last long once the action starts. Every time Batman is in motion, he looks like he's moving faster than lightning, his cape sweeping behind him like a bat-winged comet. In particular, a shot where he spins around, allowing a covered statue to take some bullets, is a great shot, demonstrating the choreography inherent in Batman's combat skills.

The action beats are enough to cover a story that, aside from its excellent done-in-one pacing, feels a little old hat (even for the constantly static Batman). Paul Tobin's character feels a little on the chatty side, particularly when Batman brings up the Joker only to immediately chastise himself for the thought. The actual plot also strains our suspension of disbelief a bit — who has enough time to carve life-sized, in-the-moment pieces of kidnapping victims, complete with furniture and accessories? The actual mystery behind the kidnapping also feels a little forced, with the logic falling apart even with the explanation of "this guy is crazy."

Yet in terms of price and risk, the artwork and 99-cent price tag makes this book an easier sell. Similar to Batman: The Animated Series, Legends of the Dark Knight is a stylish, complete story that has enough action and forward momentum to get readers hooked. While this story doesn't necessarily stick the landing, watching Tradd Moore take to the rooftops of Gotham is well worth the price of admission.

So, we've known for a bit that Sean Murphy is currently drawing something Batman related, but as to what specifically, we don't know. I initially thought he may be doing a in between issue of Batman like Becky Cloonan did, but that's obviously going to Andy Kubert. My next thought was that he could be doing some backups after Jock, but I'm really just going on his and Snyder's past collaboration, so that's just a stretch.

However, given the image above, the layout (granted, it could be cropped), unique looking Batmobile, and Alfred, I'm going to guess that this is from an upcoming stint on the digital/print Legends of the Dark Knight series. I've seen Rafael Albuquerque of American Vampire and Batman back-up fame also mention finishing art for LotDK, so I wouldn't be surprised if the digital wing of DC is really pushing for some bigger art talent like the launched the title with.
