Batman: Last Knight on Earth

Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo will always be in my heart for their BATMAN run. My mother used to read me BATMAN stories as a child (A publisher here translated both DC and Marvel comics for a period of time during my childhood) and growing up, BATMAN became my role model and number one superhero!I hadn't been reading comics for quite a while as it's somewhat difficult to get them here in Egypt. Thus, it made more sense to get volumes instead of issues. Of course, I had been following BATMAN TV shows, animated films, and live-action films.Then, I started reading the Court of Owls storyline in 2015 and I felt tingles all over my body. The writing, the art, and every single thing brought me lots of happy memories. I began to read the classics electronically and got hardcover editions of books I enjoyed most. BATMAN The Killing Joke was my first ever hardcover comic book to get in my adulthood. I went on to follow the rest of Scott and Greg's run and rebirth. Here I am now, keeping myself up to date with all the new BATMAN issues,I faced many traumas, including getting bullied, molested, and mentally abused. These stories became my Batcave, my Fortress of solitude. Without comics, graphic novels, and video games, I would have committed suicide thinking that there's no way to pick myself up or try again.BATMAN is my heart.Okay, enough with the backstory!The book here is a great addition to their run. Its twists and convoluted story may puzzle some people, but it gives you a glimpse into a dark distant future where things are not what they seem. The Dark Knight must untangle the mysteries of the past to find out what's going on in the world.What happened to Gotham City?Who is the so-called Omega?And many more questions which are answered in a mind-grabbing way!Get ready for a masterpiece!Just like the Court of Owls, Death of the Family, and Endgame.Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo outdid themselves once more!

Fantastic book. If you have been folllowing Scott Snyder's work since the new 52 this book is the ultimate climax not only to his work on the character but a fitting end to the batman mythos.It's a crazy story with outlandish ideas and looks at a world that reevaluate's the DC heroes and villains as we know it. Throw in a great mystery plot and great dynamic duo and this book is nothing short of amazing.If you love DC. If you Love Batman and if you love post apocalyptic settings with a fresh coat of paint. This is a no brainer for any fan

I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end.. Scott Snyder has revolutionised Batman, and his time with the character has been unforgettable. Last knight on earth is a wonderful conclusion to Snyder’s time with the character, and it’s worth purchasing if you enjoyed his previous works (court of owls, zero year, etc). I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Snyder in the future.. but until then, this book is an absolute must read!!

Enthralled throughout, amazing story and incredible art work… like a party for my eyes

A great price for a hardcover edition of one of the latest post-apocaliptic Batman stories. Is there anything better than Batman braving a desolate world with Joker's head in a jar as his companion?

Absolute epic read...couldn't put it down. Thoroughly recommend to any comic fan (DC or Marvel)

Decent read. Nice artwork. Good for any batman fan.

As others reviewers have pointed out, this story is all over the place, and too surreal. I have really enjoyed the work of these 2 before, especially Capullos amazing art work (in my opinion the finest Batman/Gotham artist). But I just cringed at the story here. The constant swap of dialogue between the 2 main groups of characters, it's a clever little trick the first couple of times, but after a while it becomes tiresome, and just not enjoyable in my opinion. Keep up the amazing art Greg, but I don't believe this story was not fit for your pen.

Underrated Snyder/ capullo elswords story. And awesome artwork by capullo

Adoro este libro!!! Es una trama ambiciosa que quizá sería abrumadora si no fuera contada tan elegantemente por Scott Snyder. El arte está hermoso; honestamente era de esperarse del el gran equipo de Capullo, Glapion y Plascencia.El papel que fue usada para ser impreso es de buena calidad y refleja muy bien los colores originales. También quiero notar que hicieron un muy buen trabajo en el diseño de la portada y la cubierta de la versión en pasta dura, es un libro que resalta donde sea que lo estés leyendo (o donde lo has dejado después de leerlo, ya que probablemente no lo soltarás una vez que empieces a leerlo).No es necesario leer los cómics previamente escritos por Snyder en el Nu52 para leer este libro! Así que si no tuviste la oportunidad de leerlos no tendrás problema comprendiendo la historia.Posiblemente no lo recomendaría como el primer cómic de Batman para alguien que esté empezando a leer cómics ya que es una historia muy fuera de lo normal, pero no detendría nadie de comprarlo.La única queja que tengo es que la copia que recibí tenía una abolladura en una esquina. No se nota a primera vista, pero es algo que se pudo haber evitado si el libro se hubiera manejado con más cuidado.

Possibly the greatest batman story ever told.

Trama impressionante!

ho amato (con picchi di follia) il ciclo di questi due autori sulla testata regolare di Batman (New52), pur non avendo particolarmente apprezzato il loro lavoro sul crossover Dark Knights: Metal.Il lavoro in oggetto non riprende temi ed atmosfere della serie regolare, pur rimanendo abbastanza lontana dalla strampalata saga Metal.La storia è abbastanza fuori continuity e singolare, narra di un futuro distopico in cui gli eroi DC (qui presenti in gran numero) sono molto diversi da come siamo abituati a conoscerli. Io l'ho trovata molto godibile, non originalissima, ma ben curata nella sceneggiatura ed interessante da seguire.La parte del leone qui a mio parere la fa l'artwork di Capullo, che torna ad altissimi livelli: il cartoonist americano qui fa sfoggio di tutta la sua bravura ma soprattutto della sua esperienza, concentrandosi sugli elementi narrativi più che sulla spettacolarità, infatti l'uso di splash pages è ridotto davvero all'osso, in questo caso in ogni vignetta può nascondersi un piccolo capolavoro.In definiva, un albo consigliato per i fan di Batman e dell'universo DC in generale, consigliatissimo per i fan di Capullo o Snyder, un ottimo fumetto per tutti gli altri.
