Tynion has really found his stride with this Gotham Knights team. The main story reveals who Brother Oz is so read Action Comics: Superman-The Oz Effect first if you don't want that spoiled. Tim Drake finally escapes and returns to Gotham in a wonderful story where he must confront himself. I won't go into any more details so as to not spoil anything. The final two issues update us on Spoiler and to be honest, Spoiled Brat would be a better name for her. She could drop off the face of the earth

It was okay -- the title tale is a occasionally plodding four-chapter story focusing on Tim Drake and his predicament, so your mileage may vary. Initially I didn't find it interesting but things improved once the rest of the extended Bat family started making appearances and jumping into the fray.Better was the Utopia / Dystopia finale -- a story centered mostly on heroine Spoiler (Stephanie Brown, formerly known as the 'other' Batgirl) as she is tempted by Anarchy to join in his secret undergro...

Holy shit Tynion IV just made me shit my pants. World: The art is good, the splash page centric art is beautiful, the art is a bit scratchy but overall it's pretty fantastic. The world building, the stuff with Clayface is great, the humanity of this group and the Bat family dynamic in this world and how it interacts with the rest of the DCU is great. Then there's the Tim Drake stuff which I won't talk about here cause it's spoilers but I will say that Tynion IV has pulled all of Tim's history in...

Now THIS is what I'm talking about Detective Comics finishes 2017 with the strongest volume since volume 1. The first couple of issues mostly focus on Spoiler and her finding her place in this world now that she's walked away from the bat family. Once we get past that we focus on Tim Drake. You know our hero who has been gone 30+ issues? Well he's back and he's bringing someone with him. With a FUTURE Tim Drake following around the Tim we all know and love we begin to have a race of protecting t...

3.5 stars.This wasn't bad... just not something I was super into. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it: Tim is not my favorite Batfam member. He's my least favorite of all the Robins because I just don't find anything interesting about him. I appreciate that he appears to be the most intelligent and that's great: in some ways, he's a lot like Bruce in that he's not the best fighter (that's Cass followed by Damian) and much of his success is the result of just being incredibly intelligent....

You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.As unfortunate as it is of recent news regarding the exit of James Tynion IV as the main writer on this Batman: Detective Comics series in order to work on the new series that spun out of the Batman: Metal event, his contribution has been solid and his run, long and filled with exciting characters. With the integration of characters like Azrael and Batwing, as well as the introduction of a brand new group of villains who go by the name of the Vi...

[Read as single issues]What's Stephanie Brown been up to recently? How about dealing with Anarchy and his twisted view of what the future should be? Yep, that'll do it. Then, Tim Drake is alive! But as Mr Oz's prison falls, he must contend with a devastating vision of his future as it literally comes to kill him and everyone he cares about.The Spoiler storyline has been percolating in the background of this series for a while now and finally comes to a boil here just in time for Tim's return. St...

4.8 stars(1) I saw Cass kicking the daylight out of someone in this volume.And instantly I feel a lot better about this world.(2) Holy cow, one of the villains (view spoiler)[Anarky? (hide spoiler)] simply turns out to be one of those "look I'm doing the right thing to bring safety and justice to the general public so you should help me" kind of person. *sighs* How predicable can it get?(3) I admit it, I jumped to read this vol. 5 without reading the first four volumes first, I think the storyli...

Considering that he is often seen as a lone vigilante who strikes criminals like a creature of the night, Batman has always had a sense of family, from his trusted butler Alfred to the number of Robins who have allied with the Dark Knight throughout the decades. As we learned from The Lego Batman Movie, "friends are family" and that is a key theme in James Tynion IV’s run on Detective Comics since the start of Rebirth.Please click here for my full review.

Really liked this. I was on the edge of my seat most of the time just wondering what was really happening. A lot of hinting at Doomsday Clock here, which is why I picked this series up in the first place. Unlike Rebirth Superman: Action Comics, which I also on to prep for Doomsday Clock, I actually like this series enough to continue it. (view spoiler)[Partly because I love Tim Drake and I am going to snatch anything I can get my hands on of him. (hide spoiler)]

This was epic. This deals with where Red Robin has been and we see him narrate his history to Oz, meet an older version of him and then come back to Gotham and this is the Tim Drake of tomorrow and he wants to make things right seeing this is a changed timeline and this begins the quest to make things right and this brings him at odds with the Bat family and it's an epic fight and he tells them of things to come and finally we have a story about whatever Steph has been upto and an emotional stor...

'Batman: Detective Comics, Vol. 5: A Lonely Place of Living' by James Tynion IV is a series of three stories with some interconnection. The theme seems to be how alone you can be, even on a team as amazing as this one.Tim Drake has been missing and presumed dead. In this volume's main story, we find out what happened in a storyline that spans back and forth through time. Spoiler finds herself intrigued by an idea from Anarky that would build a new type of city underground. Meanwhile, Clayface de...

A fun, action packed installment of Detective Comics.

I've not read Detective Comics before, and I've only ever read stand-alone Batman stories. so I have no idea who this Bat-Family is, but DAMN I'm loving seeing them all together.

3.5 Stars

A Lonely Place of Living (965-968). First up, it's great to finally get Tim back, following the whole Oz Effect debacle. Tynion does a great job with his character and his interactions with the team. But beyond that, this is a great continuity story. We finally learn about Tim's origins in the whole messed-up nu52 continuity, and then we get a Future Batman story that builds on everything from Infinite Crisis to Morrison's vision of Future Damian. Overall, this is a fun romp that shows the advan...

Basic plot: Tim Drake makes it back to Gotham to defeat an unexpected foe while Spoiler deals with Anarky.This was an emotionally raw story. Any storyline that deals with the timeline and what could be is always a little rough. We all make decisions that haunt us and make us wonder what if... Tim is no different. The story was good, the art was solid, and everything kept moving at a pace that revealed the story well while not getting draggy.Next!

Batman: Detective Comics, Vol. 5: A Lonely Place of Living by James Tynion IV is perhaps one of the best examples of why Tim Drake is a poor excuse to be Robin. Bitter, alienated and thinking his intelligence and hypocritical high moral ground somehow makes him better than the rest of the Batman family comes to bear here in full glory as the future Tim shows us Drake's true colors.After sacrificing himself to save Gotham which of course did not happen, Drake finds himself trapped in an inescapab...
