    The over-sized celebration for Detective Comics delivers a monster win for readers. Each tale delves into different aspects that compose Gothams leading protector. It isnt a straight forward superhero issue, nor should it be. Readers will be very pleased with the visions detailed by every art team. They bring out the strengths of each writers work. The chapter leaves no doubt on why Batman has been a staple for 1100 issue and for many more to come. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Aaron Ray Jr.

    Aug 20, 2025

    This is a fantastic comic book. Taylor and Janin especially brought a sense of sincerity to Batman that I very much need right now. In addition, Greg Rucka chose the right setting and subject matter that works to his strengths. Tamaki may have been a slightly weaker link, but her story has genuine potential if Connor McMannnor shows up again to give Bruce a hard time. Lastly, Watters swung for the fences with his darker story, but managed to land in a pretty neat place. Overall, this is a must read for Batman fans, if I say so myself. Read Full Review

    Near perfect grouping of stories. These anniversary/milestone issues usually have a good story or two in them but rarely do all the stories and art land.

    The Taylor and Rucka stories were absolutely sensational both with art and writing! I liked the other stories quite a bit as well, considering I'm not a big fan of Watters or Tamaki. I was a bit underwhelmed by this anniversary issue compared to previous milestone centennial issues, where you'd often find additional pin-ups by great artists as well as an occasional essay or two. Still, a really really good read for fans old and new!

    This was actually one of the better anniversary Detective Comics we had. My favorite is Tom Taylor's story, but I think Greg Rucka's Batman story was the best one out there. Mariko Tamaki was a little confusing, but overall I enjoyed this.

    Overall a solid anniversary issue. The Watters story was very 90s Batman. Which isn't a bad thing.

    Amazing art but just your typical cliche stories in these "celebration" issues. The Rucka story was the stand out for me.
