5.0 out of 5 starsTragedy Befalls the Batmen When the Victim Syndicate Strikes Again
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 2, 2018
James Tynion starts the undoing of his team of Bat family crime fighters in this new volume that sees the group tearing themselves apart over the question of how to deal with Clayface. With news spreading of Batman's escalation in recruiting his own Gotham-based team (and Red Robin going into overdrive to try to prevent his dark future self from coming to fruition), the team is on uneven ground. With Clayface on the eve of being permanently cured of his condition the Victim Syndicate (along with a spurned Anarky) strike at the heart of the group by torturing Clayface and removing his control mechanism that helps him maintain his human form and balance out his emotions. Driven to a rampage, Clayface is revealed once again to Gotham as a monster (further deteriorating trust in Batman's choices for trying to redeem the villain). The team tries to subdue their ally, but with time running out and the Victim Syndicate's attack on their base of operations leaving them in the wind Batwoman makes a controversial decision that ends in tragedy and drives a wedge in the team. Take note Marvel, this is how you do a dramatic and emotional "team member vs team member" conflict without it devolving into some forced event. To round things out, the volume includes a touching retelling of Clayface's origins with an emphasis on his doomed film career and his childhood obsession with monsters.

Great read that accentuates a stronger background depiction of a routinely overlooked character. James Tyrion did the storyline great jus

4.0 out of 5 stars Sad, but a good start of the begining of the end of James Tynrion's Detective Comics 2016-2018 run

This copy of Detective Comics Vol. 6: Fall of the Batmen which despite some just below moderate damage on the back left bottom corner, was over great in my own opinion which kicks off part one of the Of two of the end of James Tyrion iv's Detective Comics 2016-2018 (I also read this story-line as it released) and has a major affect on the Batman Family Team who headlined this book

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Book
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 2, 2018
Batman – Detective Comics Vol. 6: Fall of the Batmen by James Tynion IV (illustrated by Eddy Barrows, Miguel Mendonca, Phil Briones, and Jesus Merino) is supposedly the second to last graphic novel in the saga. This graphic novel collects Detective Comics #969-974 and Annual #1.

The Victim Syndicate has turned all of Gotham against Batman and his team in protest. They also kidnapped Clayface while threating to release dangerous criminals from Arkham Asylum unless Batman unmasks himself on live TV.

As Clayface becomes more unhinged, the team is trying to stop him before he destroys the whole city.

This whole Detective Comics run has had put the character of Clayface (Basil Karlo) either in the center, or off center, of the story-line, Batman – Detective Comics Vol. 6: Fall of the Batmen by James Tynion, IV (illustrated by Eddy Barrows, Miguel Mendonca, Phil Briones, and Jesus Merino) makes no bones about the fact that he is the main character of this graphic novel. Mr. Tynion has created Clayface as a character who fights with two sides of his identity, but in this graphic novel he makes no bones about putting him front and center.

I enjoyed the art, but I thought that it was uneven due to the stylistic differences of the artists doing this graphic novel as opposed to the style I have become accustomed to which defined the series (this is, after all, a visual medium). I have no real complaints, however, as the art accommodated the story-line very well.

Everything in this graphic novel which had to do with Clayface worked very well together. Mr. Tynion made him a tragic figure begging for a resolution.

The one thing I didn’t understand was the Batmen (the whole team), opposing Batwoman’s solution to the problem. Frankly, I don’t see any other solution but I’m looking to find out what the author had in mind when he put the words “another way”, in their mouths.

I really enjoyed the Annual, which tells the history of Clayface. It would have made much more sense, however, to put the issue in the front of this graphic novel, instead of the back, as is done customarily.
