    Then there's a wild twist at the end that changes up your perspective on a key character and how the story will revolve around them moving forward, once again shaking up any preconceived notions of what this series will ultimately be. That's a hallmark of the Massive-Verse, Power Rangers, and Superman as well, so it shouldn't really be a surprise that it works so well here as well. If you're looking for something that captures the imagination and mixes in concepts from some of your favorite franchises, look no further than Immortal Legend Batman. Read Full Review

    Trying to re-envision the Dark Knight is easier said than done. Higgins and Groom put an incredible spin on the myths with their writing. D'Urso and Monti blaze an electric blend of action and dram with phenomenal art. This has all the makings for a must-read event readers could want. Read Full Review

    Overall, Immortal Legend Batman #1 is a good read for those who are looking for different features with Batman in a new light. Its also a good starting point, as the story doesnt require a fan to backlog events to catch up. Instead, the story starts with a fresh introduction and a problem a hero must face. If youd like to read about this comic book, be sure to pick it up from your local comic book store or online, where copies are sold. Read Full Review

    Immortal Legend Batman #1 is an interesting start. It's a comic that my thoughts evolved over time as the comic itself morphed throughout. What seemed like a simple Western ends as something more and a bit different. It's a solid direction and concept and one I want to see more of. Overall, it's a debut that's full of surprises and twists and a story that goes in unexpected directions. Read Full Review

    The Immortal Legend Batman is the Sci-Fi/Western/Fantasy you didn't know you wanted. It's a bold combination of genres that opens up a new world with much to explore. The shadow realm looks to be the most interesting and I hope we see more of it soon. Read Full Review

    While a total blender of ideas that fit with a puzzling degree of force,Immortal Legend Batman #1is still an incredibly fun ride that lives and dies by the rule of cool. Erica D'Urso steals the show with her pencils and Igor Monti breathes living colors into pages, a duo whose work creates an unrivaled sense of life in this genre-confused take on the Batman mythos.

    KPB Comics - Aun Haider

    Aug 27, 2025

    Immortal Legend Batman #1 is an ambitious, weird, and visually striking Elseworlds debut. It mashes up Batman with sci-fi, anime, and Tokusatsu energy in a way we haven't really seen before. Sure, the lore can be clunky and Batman himself isn't the easiest to like here, but there's enough mystery and spectacle to keep readers hooked for issue #2. If you're into toku, space operas, or just want to see Batman in a totally new light, this is worth a look, even if it stumbles along the way. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Aaron Ray Jr.

    Aug 27, 2025

    Arguably, as first stories go, this isn't the best way to introduce your brand new Batman. For one, the writers characterize this hero unfavorably through most of the story, only to soften the depiction when convenient. Secondly, the execution of the exposition dump and the inclusion of late stage implications about Batman's past is poor. What works is the action, some of the references, and parts of the world building. Even if that means letting go of the simple but thoughtless naming conventions of the Immortal Legends. Yet, despite the stumbles, this could be a fairly fun new world with a more engaging story next issue. Read Full Review
