Giant monsters? Batfam assemble. Parts of this were really good, parts were really cheesy. Reminded me of a big 90's Batman event.

There are a lot of face palm moments in this story. A LOT.But what makes it a disaster is the inconsistent art. In Nightwing issues, the art is rich and defined and in Batman issues, the art is totally different (sometimes like undried water painting). You need to remember that this six issue crossover event is a continues affair. So its not fun to see the character's appearance change every 22 pages.Another issue for me was the over the top technology and some weird ideas they used in combat. W...

The ending was soo underwhelming -_-

So now we've decided to just redo old stories? How original! Batman and the Monster Men has been done more than once (and much better). So Hugo Strange is now a master geneticist in addition to being a psychiatrist. And he's created Kaiju out of corpses to run around Gotham? What!? Then Nightwing figures out some nonsense about how the monsters are representative of Batman's psyche. There's a ton of psychobabble nonsense in here. Batman takes a backseat in this book to Nightwing and Batwoman. If...

I'm being generous and giving this a three star -- probably more like 2 1/2... It just isn't that good. It was an ok idea; had a great lead in; and there were some good moments; but they wasted panel space on ugly monster fights instead of delving into aspects of the story that would have made it interesting.

Collects Batman issues #7-8, Nightwing issues #5-6, and Detective Comics issues #941-942This was billed as the first DC: Rebirth crossover event, and I really wish they hadn't done one so soon after the new initiative kicked off. Especially this particular one. It was bad. The art was a mess and the story was boring. Hugo Strange is the bad guy, and basically the whole Bat Family appears in these pages.

Goodness, this was awful. The story is basically crap. Giant, poorly explained monsters that are... supposed to provide a psychoanalysis of Batman? For six issues? This might have been more bearable in one or two issues, but who really needs Hugo Strange attempting to diagnose and replace Batman? Also, there's mind controlling spores, because of course there are. The awful, Power Rangers-esque Watchtowers is sort of the cherry on the D-movie sundae of terrible. Maybe if characterization was good...

*3.5 starsThis was okay... I really enjoyed the art and some parts were better then others. The ending was good, but I honestly think this would do great as an animated movie.

"This is hell isn't it?"- Gotham citizen discussing the book he is in.This may not be the worst book I have ever read. I only say "May"because I fear recency bias might play a factor hear. It is undoubtedly trash. Nearly every five pages bring you something new to insult even the most modest of intelligences. The general plot is that the bat friends have to defeat the poorly named "monster men." The monster men are really just kaiju. Both batman and Godzilla have their place, but mixing the too...

For me, DC’s Rebirth has been a disappointing parade of astonishingly low-quality comics - except for Tom King’s Batman which was surprisingly decent. So I was actually looking forward to Night of the Monster Men, the first Rebirth crossover book, thinking King was writing it. And then I saw the credits page: “Plotted by Tom King/Tim Seeley/James Tynion IV - Script by Steve Orlando” and my heart sank. Steve fucking Orlando. You know what Orlando’s Midnighter book was? “I’m a gay superhero!” - an...

Gotham is ravaged by giant monsters and only the Bat Family is there to deal with it because it would be no contest if the JLA showed up, riiiiight?Decent artwork with some rare peaks to the story and dialogue.Otherwise fairly basic and sometimes off dialogue/story flow. OVERALL GRADE: C plus.

Okay...yeah...okay...So this isn't horrible idea. But the execution could have been so much better. We have Hugo basically creating monsters around the city. Batman and friends have to stop this beast. After the death of "you know who" Batman is on the edge. He doesn't want any of his people getting involved in this. Of course Dick and Batwomen like "Bitch please we do what we want brah" and Batman all like "NOOOOO!" That's my biggest issue. Batman seems so out of character and almost useless he...

6 issues too long, this could of been a 6 page back-up story.

I received this from Edelweiss and DC Comics in exchange for an honest review. This was intense! Loved it!

An okay read! So this is basically a remake of "Batman and The Monster Men", which came out like ten years ago, and I liked it because it had a 90s feel about it. To answer the big question, no its not the worst batman comic book ever, but its not anything special! The plot is basically Hugo Strange unleashes these monsters on Gotham City and batman has to stop it; more like batman and his 50 interns! On the positive side, this book, although the artwork is average, the monster designs themselve...

It looks like I'm in the minority here, but I really enjoyed this hyper-charged horror / action mash-up. It was like the Dark Knight was in a head-on collision with a Stephen King nightmare. (To mangle my favorite description of a typical King book - "It was a normal day . . . and then EVIL came to town!") The Monster Men of the title are a pretty disgusting lot, and it was a kick to see Bats and his 'family' - especially Gotham Girl (looking / acting more than ever like Britney Spears during he...

You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.You know what I despise the most about these crossover events nowadays? It’s this tingling feeling that I get every time I jump into them. That feeling that screams that one of their biggest intentions isn’t to deliver a series-wide major event that remains solid both in story and artwork, but a cash-grab attempt to get people to check out the other series that they might not be following. Night of the Monster Men is a crossover event that has i...

Wow that was so underwhelming. World: The art is fine. Nothing special. The world building was patchy and made no sense. But then again it was a kaiju story and needed to make no sense. However using Strange the way this event did was a waste. Story: Boring and pointless and not well done. I don't mind a over the top kaiju fest but there was just so many plot holes and points in the story. I can go on at length of how inconsequential this book is but I can't be bothered. Characters: Meh. No one

The completionist in me led to me finally reading this. And y’know, not as terrible as I’d thought it’d be. I mean it’s also not very good either...

Okay so... who the fuck thought this was a good idea?What’s it about?In a crossover event (yay, every comic fan’s favorite) a bad storm is coming to Gotham. The Bat-family (well, most of it... there are a few Bat-family characters that aren’t here) is trying to help the people of Gotham escape the storm. Should be fairly simple until a villain has a bunch of monsters he created show up.Pros:Most of the art is pretty well done and makes the book pop.There is no denying that this book has a lot of...
