Officer Down is a shitty cop show episode with added capes. Officer Down is a completely awful, forgettable Batman comic that fully deserves to be out of print! View all 5 comments. This was pretty interesting. Some of the 90s art was really hard to get used to. Especially in the Robin issue.

Catwoman's characterization confused me a bit. As did Bruce's, particularly in response to Dick. This whole thing is a bit of a solid mystery in which the cops and the vigilantes try to do right by Gordon. Surprisingly, I didn't get a ton of emotion from anyone but Batman in this and it was mostl This was pretty interesting. Surprisingly, I didn't get a ton of emotion from anyone but Batman in this and it was mostly just guilt.

Montoya has always had issues with abiding by the law and not abusing her power. It's a flaw that is interesting for a female cop but, of course, not admirable. Anyway, it's a tentative recommend as a solid Batfam story. Aug 09, Albert rated it liked it. Batman: Officer Down is a very different take on a Batman story. The main theme being how little Batman is involved. It begins with a terrific premise.

The gunning down of a police officer in Gotham. What follows is the investigation and manhunt for the shooter. The effect of the crime on the police force, the superheroes and eventually on Gordon himself. This tale is a crossover event through the Batman Batman: Officer Down is a very different take on a Batman story.

This tale is a crossover event through the Batman comics and had the potential of being one of the best Batman stories ever told. Unfortunately the execution does not measure up to the potential of the story.

At a celebratory dinner in his honor, Commissioner Gordon leaves the party and begins to walk down the streets where he is met by Catwoman. As he attempts to apprehend her, he is shot three times in the back. Catwoman is seen fleeing the scene and the investigation begins. At first Catwoman is suspected but evidence shows that Gordon was shot in the back, so she goes from being a suspect to the lone eye witness.

The police, led by Detectives Bullock and Montoya and the superheroes, led by Nightwing and Robin, investigate the shooting. The Batman, seems paralyzed, unable to do more than stand at Gordon's bedside in shock. As the investigation moves forward, the answer to who the shooter is has a dramatic effect on all involved.

Even more so, is the fact that he will get away with it. Officer Down is one of the first comic series that focuses almost as much as the non super heroes as it does the costumed crusaders. The story is passed from comic to comic and writer to writer.

That is its major flaw. It lacks the strength of continuity that would come from it being told with one strong voice. The story itself is very good, but it lacks in delivery. Gordon's reaction at the end to the shooting. Batman's reaction is completely out of character. Doing nothing while his friend lays dying? We have seen in prior books with the death of Jason and the shooting of Barbara Gordon that Batman would not stand still.

Instead, here he seems to revert to the small boy Bruce Wayne kneeling at the bloody bodies of his parents. The impact of the shooting on the relationship between Alfred and Batman. It just seems out of line.

But the story itself is good. A police shooting, Gordon the victim and the possibility that justice will not prevail. A very good premise that fails in execution. View 1 comment. Jan 21, Mizuki rated it really liked it Shelves: comic , pretty-good. It's good drama with a set of vivid characters!

Beside the action scenes, this volume also contents a lot of emotional dramas and I quite like it! Or at least they used to be? Sep 06, Aaron rated it it was ok.

This should've been an emotional home run. With Gordon barely hanging in there, it feels like a ripe opportunity to delve into deeper character territory, examining what Gordon means to so many of these characters and how his death would change their lives. There's a little bit of this in here, but I think DC left most of this semi-eulogizing to the similarly-medio This should've been an emotional home run. There's a little bit of this in here, but I think DC left most of this semi-eulogizing to the similarly-mediocre Batman: Turning Points , which was published simultaneously.

Unfortunately, instead, this is a very paint-by-numbers whodunit with some truly meaningless reveals and twists that show the would-be murderer to be a complete rando we've never heard of, and had no way of "solving" ourselves. It robs the story of any impact, and leads to some truly ridiculous detective work and good-cop bad-cop scenes. There's really just nothing to care about here. The story feels Like Rucka and company were going to write a much more meaningful, impactful story, but DC told them the killer couldn't be anyone popular.

As such, this is extremely weak. As usual, I didn't hate Rucka's writing by any stretch. He writes two of the seven issues collected here, and I believe structured the entire story, and there's a certain deftness to the physical writing that Rucka always manages to make shine even in the weakest stories. Unfortunately, though, this one just doesn't really stand up to much scrutiny, and what should have been a monumental story in the Bat-iverse is instead very easily forgotten.

Mar 07, Samuel rated it really liked it. I really enjoyed the very nicely stylised art and in depth exploration of the consequences of an officer being shot down. The breakdown of the detective process to find the perp is some of the best stuff in batman comics, that feeling of watching a police procedural play out with the twists and turns is heightened by the far more realised characters of the comics. The impact Jim's assault had on batman highlighted an often overlooked connection between the two defenders of Gotham.

I thought that I really enjoyed the very nicely stylised art and in depth exploration of the consequences of an officer being shot down. I thought that the explorations of the power of police through the handcuff keys was very poignant to today's discussions of police brutality. Additionally, the ambiguous ending highlights questions about justice and the greater good, leaving the reader to confront many uncomfortable quandries.

The only thing that held this back was the absence of certain characters in parts of the story, as is the nature of crossovers between different books, some characters were entirely missing from certain issues, making the overall piece feel less connected. Overall, officer down is a great batman story with a brilliant focus on the gcpd and its relationship to batman, with some very appealing and impressive art, this is a great reccomendation to most batman fans.

Oct 14, Sophia rated it it was amazing. This comic was really well done. The story line, the illustrations, the emotions. All of it put together made an excellent comic that you could just sit back and enjoy. I loved the loyalty that was displayed and also the strong bonds of friendship. It was all wonderful and exciting to read. Edition Type:. Publish Date:. Orders placed before 5pm, Monday-Thursday will usually be delivered next day.
