Lots of nice big blocks of clean colour and shadows and the panelling reminded me very much of Tim Sale's work on Long Halloween and Dark Victory which I'm sure was no accident as these both feel very similar in terms what setting up the characters and the world they live in. Like I said the art is really bright and vibrant. A lot of time is dedicated to looking at the characters motivations for why they want to do what they do but it doesn't dwell on it too much and we get plenty of action as we see their early successes and failures. What a psycho.Īs an origin story it works really well. As usual he makes some questionable decisions around children like throwing Barbara into a live fire exercise without letting her know. The relationships between the characters is really interesting and I always like it when Batman features in these stories as a kind of aloof and mean old dad. The art is deceptively bright and cartoony as the story gets quite dark in places. Batgirl/Robin: Year One written by Chuck Dixon and Scott Beatty and illustrated by Marcos Martin and Javier Pulido collects two gorgeously illustrated miniseries about the origins and early adventures of both aspiring crime-fighters and their subsequent team-up as they patrol the streets of Gotham.
