"MEHR ALS EINE WEIHNACHTSGESCHICHTE Inspiriert von Charles Dickens' unsterblichem literarischen Klassiker Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte schickt Ausnahmekünstler Lee Bermejo (JOKER, LEX LUTHER: MANN AUS STAHL) den Dunklen Ritter in dieser spektakulären Graphic Novel nicht nur in den Kampf gegen Joker, sondern auch auf Konfrontationskurs mit den unruhigen Geistern der Vergangenheit, der Gegenwart und der Zukunft. So entstand in realistischen Bildern eine außergewöhnliche Bestandsaufnahme und stimmungsvolle Studie des seit über 70 Jahren währenden Batman-Mythos, mit Robin, Superman, Catwoman und vielen andern!"

Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: December 5, 2011 What happens when Batman gets a bad cold? Does Gotham and its perpetually overwhelmed police force fall to pieces? Bermejo’s somewhat tongue-in-cheek answer to that question puts the Dark Knight—who, by the way, doesn’t seem to believe he can get sick, no matter how bad the cough claims otherwise—into a scenario that’s mostly A Christmas Carol, with a dash of It’s a Wonderful Life. A crusty, streetwise narrator follows the story’s Bob Cratchit stand-in, a low-level crook who Batman is willing to dangerously dangle as bait—no matter that Bob has a Tiny Tim–like son at home. Ghosts of Batman’s more lighthearted past swing by, whether it’s the memory of Robin or an all-too-real Catwoman, who doesn’t get why he won’t play with her like he once did. The moral hangs heavy over Bermejo’s snowy, painterly Gotham, with Batman as the grizzled old vigilante trying to remember why he got into this game in the first place, and whether it’s even worth it. As a follow-up to the bestselling Joker graphic novel that he painted, Bermejo has created a clever, thoughtful piece of work, and one of the more satisfying Batman one-offs. " Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: August 19, 2019 This eccentric outside-of-continuity tale from DC’s newly launched mature readers label plunges deep into the angry psyche of its flagship hero. Following Batman’s umpteenth confrontation with the Joker, which seems to culminate in the psychotic clown’s demise, the stabbed hero awakens in a police ambulance. Upon escaping, he is joined by urban mystic John Constantine, who leads him on the mayhem-laden trail of an apparently not dead Joker, while simultaneously guiding him on an odyssey through memories of Batman’s childhood traumas stemming from his parents’ dysfunctional marriage. He encounters several of DC’s occult mainstays, including reimaginings of the Spectre, the Demon, and Swamp Thing, all leading toward a surprise ending. Azzarello (the 100 Bullets series) has previously written both Batman and John Constantine brilliantly in their respective milieus, but the fusion here of Batman’s costumed crime fiction and Constantine’s mystical-meets-the-mundane flavor does not quite gel. What results is a horror quest spliced with “Batman on the couch” examinations of his control-through-fear m.o. Bermejo’s painted art is moody and macabre, but ultimately serves to gloss a script that needed fine-tuning. It’s not a disaster, but it’s also not a good entry point for newbies to its universe,this volume’s recommended strictly for completists dedicated to Batman’s eight decades of tropes and enamored of DC’s roster of other magical players.
