Bruce Wayne is facing charges for the attempted murder of former mentor and teacher Henri Ducard and faces a grueling Interpol interrogation.

But Why Tho? - Charles Hartford
Jul 13, 2021When taken as a whole, Batman The Detective #4 delivers a great addition to the storys continuing narrative. It shows aspects of the books star that many stories would avoid, but ultimately their inclusion makes the narrative stronger. Read Full Review

Aug 07, 2021Batman: The Detective #4is such an excellent addition to this series with many reveals to happen. Seriously, where DOES he get these toys? Anticipation for more is high and in the next issue we get "Battle In Brussels". See you then! Read Full Review

The Super Powered Fancast - Timala Elliott
Jul 13, 2021This is a beautiful edition. The drawings are extremely detailed, and the color work is a perfect fit in both tone and style. This issue does an amazing job in balancing modern energy with a noir mood. Read Full Review

Jul 13, 2021DC has too many Batman books in the lineup these days, but Batman The Detective is certainly a strong enough read to warrant enduring through any pruning. Read Full Review

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Jul 13, 2021This type of international espionage and terrorism story is different for Batman, and as we had to the final act, Taylor and Kubert are doing a great job of jacking up the tension with every issue. Read Full Review

Jul 13, 2021Readers that like a BATMAN with more finesse and charm wont find that here. For the reader whos looking for a BATMAN who has 17 backup plans that are practically ludicrous and silly for anyone to plan for, this series isn't for you. Taylor and his team provide fans with one of the most realistic versions I've seen in quite some time. I highly recommend giving BATMAN: THE DETECTIVE a shot to see what you've been missing.

Dark Knight News - Steve J Ray
Jul 13, 2021Batman: The Detective #4 rocks. I love old, grizzled Bruce. Equilibrium scare the bejeezus out of me and Amina's cooler than a snowman wearing Ray-Bans. The main cast is terrific, the villains are terrifying, and the premise is terrific. The only thing I don't like about this series is that we're only getting two more issues. Read Full Review

Batman-News - Nicholas Finch
Jul 14, 2021It's a nice feeling to review a book I genuinely like. These types of comics are good, because they make me feel like I have something to say about them that feels substantive, without taking away from the fact that the overall product is a good time. Taylor and Kubert have made a miniseries that I certainly don't think is perfect, but represents a great example of Batman's character, his values, and what he'll do to save the people he's sworn to protect. I'm curious and excited to see how it culminates! Read Full Review

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Jul 13, 2021In Batman: The Detective #4 you get a little forward progress in Bruce Wayne's investigation, putting him through the wringer to make this feel more like a James Bond story than a Batman story. With no information to understand or care about Equilbirium, the story is starting to feel small and frustrating. Read Full Review

So now Batman faces his polar opposites while being able to throw them off his secret identity. Unfortunately, Bruce's beliefs in making the smart choices come into conflicts with the moral choices. With Equilibrium becoming more and more ruthless, it's time to get as absurd as they are with a mobile Batcave.

Issue 4 of batman the detective is pretty darn good. This series at the beginning was somewhat bland but now it seems to have picked up momentum and is becoming one of my favorite miniseries this year. Tom Taylors writing and Andy Kubert's art is fantastic. The panels in this issue are great making it feel like a true detective drama. Only complaint about this issue was I wish it was a bit longer, and the fact that Bruce recovers perfectly from getting stabbed in his right trapezius muscle kind of bothered me. But that is just me being nit picky, the rest of this issue is great and I'm excited to see what the last two have in store.

It's been a thrilling read so far with some top notch art - love the panel of Bruce's shoulder being stabbed, it's such a sudden page-turner of a closeup. I find the villains M.O. to be particularly calculated and nasty, so with two issues left to go, I'm looking forward to seeing how Batman turns the tables.

" I dream of Old Friends. Of people i loved. People i've pushed away. People i've lost. The dead. And there are new ghots. all the people equilibruim has taken. All the people who only died because i helped them. Them the dream is over and really hits. " - BRUCE WAYNE

Not a ton happened here in terms of plot progression, but seeing Batman almost be one-upped was cool. I gotta say though, the more I look at gross hulk Bruce Wayne, the more I'm confused by the choice of making Bruce Wayne into a monster man.

This book has me torn: Tom Taylor has a track record of cringe comics with Injustice, DCEASED, Nightwing, and his atrocious Suicide Squad, while this book feels completely different. I'm hoping that his Jon Kent book will be in the same vein as this. Leave the reddit bait behind Taylor!

Didn't care for this issue as much as the rest. Felt like filler.

It's strange to see an old, fat, hairless, poorly aged Batman, but it makes sense, even the way that he has somewhat lost the ability to detect danger.
