Batman: Killing Time (2022-) #1

Product Information

His suit, his vehicles, his superhero poses, all serve the narrative but also have the makings of a poster book. Marquez proves to be a stellar partner for King in this particular book, as both are aiming for a Batman that feels large, intimidating, and frankly just plain cool.

Catwoman ditches the car to avoid Batman’s trackers and remote control, and they steal an orange truck, pushing the Batmobile off a cliff. That seems rather hollow, but it's more than a little telling that Clock King is the character the series ultimate revolves around. Over a decade and a half later, I'm still inspired by Batman, and especially the Bat-Family (Stephanie Brown! The ending, the whole reasoning, is a bit silly but makes sense with the title but I won't like if it took out some of the momentum the series had going for it.Batman arrives and engages, but Riddler has already gotten what he wanted across the city, using Croc and Catwoman as his distractions and leverage. In fact Catwoman is written very differently from the Cat in King’s run - here she’s very vicious and quite mad.

Editor’s Note: This collected edition includes all six issues of the miniseries Batman: Killing Time, which had its first issue released in March 2022 and the final issue released in August 2022. It was never an eye of Athena, only a decoy taken from a theater mask to be offered up in its place. Killing Time is a Stanely Kubrick inspired, action-packed thrill ride that never loses the voice and intimacy King has shown with his work on Batman.The Help was rather boring and I feel like I missed something because Batman went from getting his ass beat by The Help to teaming up with him with no time frame in-between? The comic is also far more violent than I expected, to the point where I kept checking if it was a Black Label title. Killing Time is also a Tom King special in that the narrative timeline is goofy as hell (though easier to follow than Batman/Catwoman) and the "final villain" is purposefully lame (I think). It's change that I think will garner a lot of new fans, how had previously felt waylaid by his Batman run and the aforementioned Heroes and Bat Cat books.

It makes the cuts between days, minutes, months, and even years feel like an extension of the story instead of a gimmick.She pulls out her gun, saying she doesn’t have any more money, but Batman tackles her from the air as she fires at Catwoman.
