No current Talk conversations about this book. 1270 ( ) One can only hope that the new Gotham TV show lives up to a series like this one. There is plenty of suspense and action without Batman running around, and the stories are just really great cop dramas written within the Gotham city walls. I would however, like to complain about the compilation of issues contained in these volumes because they are not in any order and there are some issues omitted and only collected in the hardcovers. I don't think that was a very bright move at DC. Most readers of graphic novels are well-acquainted with Gotham City from the world of DC comics. This title takes an interesting approach, though. It reads more like a version of "CSI" or "Law and Order." It's Gotham from the point of view of the cops charged with its protection. In other Gotham stories, we mostly see this police force as background clutter, usually obstructing Batman or being embarrassed by the Joker. This book portrays the force as a collection of realistic law enforcement professionals who just happen to work a beat plagued with more than its share of costumed supervillains. It’s good drama and a fresh take on a genre that can sometimes get a little formulaic. no reviews | add a review
