Batman Detective Comics 4: The Wrath Paperback – November 25, 2014

All sorts of action involving a new to Gotham Batman and a new breed of "bat-men" from manbat serum. A scientist thinks he got the serum right unlike Talia and Ras have tried to make a super army of manbats. However the serum is much stronger than him or his wife can handle. So now there are blood thirsty manbats all over and a super villain calling himself Wrath who wants to kill all of Gotham PD that B atman must deal with. He is starting to make get Gotham PD to trust him like James Gordon does, but not all do yet. There are small guest spots of Batgirl, Robin, and of course the crazies like Joker and that. Alfred has a kinda big part too. All around great Batman story and drawn awesome.

Easily one of the best reads of New 52 - this book puts an original twist on an underused and very under developed villain, being the Wrath. While there are numerous anti-Batmen like figures in the comic realm (including Prometheus, Owl Man, Lord Batman, etc.), Wrath feels to me like the most appropriate type for his rogue's gallery. Wrath is a serial killer who targets cops, and also utitlizes a massive array of expensive and tactical equipment to take down his foes.

Love getting my graphic novels from Amazon. Speedy delivery and never have to worry about the condition of the book or price! Nice artwork and Batman story. Hope that this helps.

Layman's last stories in Detective are this volume. Pretty great overall.

Story is very good and so is the artwork.

New, Bold and respectful to the Dark Knight's Legacy.... now that's a plot! Great Artwork Too.

Nice follow up too DC vol 3 Emperor Penguin although I liked that volume better. One thing I love about that volume an this is the backup stories. Their a nice little break. Good conclusion too the Emperor Penguin story arc with the second issue. I also like how Layman references things in the other 3 batman titles of the new 52; batman, batman and robin, and batman the dark knight. Nice too see Harper from Snyders Batman in here too. The 3 part Wrath story was above average, nothing special imo. Did like the ending with the GCPD an Wrath. Art was good too. Overall a solid volume, good size too.

Wrath is basically another rich boy billionaire with a tech company and a fancy suit, who will win?

Excellent book

Can't fault it, great story, fantastic artwork (Fabok really makes Gotham come alive). This is also a bigger volumn than the other issues in this series. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

must read for a new 52 fan.

Very good story and art! excellent!

Well, this book by no means is bad.... A good work of art and drama, u can even make yourself believe that it has a good plot but alas, the narration sucked so bad...you can almost see what's coming next, from who's Wrath to who is killing the people clawing them to death. Not much element of surprise left and the ending matches your expectations which is kinda disappointing. Plus the unnecessary Bullock issues in between, what a waste!!
