I Am Batman #1 Preview

Lmao since when is Lucius a character anyone cares all that much about?

Since the Nolan trilogy?

Since the '90s for me.

I was introduced to him in B:TAS and then when I started reading the comics I liked him being around (and even getting the occasional spotlight). Bruce having a non-Bat family friend and trusted advisor who was just a decent man that handled Bruce's company is a breath of fresh air and helps make the world feel real. Lucius was a great side character and that was all he needed to be.

Not everybody in a hero's world needs to be an active part (or even know of) of their costumed life.

That said, I like that Jace is a retooled Timothy Fox and it actually does make sense for the character to end up here.

He was definitely a cool addition to the world of Batman/Bruce Wayne when he was introduced back in the late 1970s/1980s.

And there was this story, which originally introduced the daughter of Mademoiselle Marie:

[Superboy-Prime]

Lucius served the same point as Alfred kinda.

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

The issue today was a decent introduction. Just Jace prowling Alleytown and dealing with Fear State. The murder mystery tease is pretty cool.

Yeah decent issue but I think like all things Gotham right now, it's being hindered by Fear State/ Magistrate/ Future State, which I am not a fan of personally.

^^ How d'you mean? Like, in what context?

(1) in comparison to [insert existing Bat character];
(2) to wear a Batman suit; and/or
(3) ...

Also, and I stand to be corrected, think Katana (irrespective of her codename) is more than just a "swordswoman".

(fighter) We saw in Second Son, he struggled in a fight against a nobody. Katana comes in and makes a joke out of said nobody which makes Jace look that much worse.
(Mentally Weak) Throughout Second Son and in issue 0, we see he has a lot of self doubt and insecurity from his talks with Katana and the lady from 0 that I can't recall her name. That being said, maybe mentally weak was a tad too strong.

Regarding Katana, you will have to help me out with that one if you see otherwise. From the comics I've read with her in it, movies, and cartoons; I've only ever seen her use a sword. Heck, Jace could end up using a non lethal sword at some point... that would be kind of cool...
