    Default Batman Venom Review (Canon Read Through #8)

    Venom is another one that I didn't really like the first time I read it, I saw the characterisation as being wrong, to me Batman would NEVER take steroids. I've grown up a bit now though and have realised that people in general want to take short cuts when they fail.

    Going in with this new mindset you can read what I thought of Batman Venom in my review below

    Seeing the site grow massively now thanks to this forum, thanks everyone who reads my reviews regularly and gives trivia that i've missed.

    Cheers

    Nice review but you're wrong about Bane. Bane overcame his own addiction in Vengeance# 2 and spent the remainder of his existence ( minus New 52) free of venom. Bruce Wayne never fought a roided Bane excluding Knightfall.

    My views from another recent thread on Venom:

    Venom is fantastic and a huge favorite of mine. One of Denny O's top best. The story and premise were really poignant to me. Denny beat so many writers to this type of story that we see a lot now: how Batman deals with the powers he doesn't have, the people he couldn't save.

    You see all these threads on All-Star B&R and some try to defend it as young rough fallable Batman, but Venom shows that to me in a much better way.
    Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft

    Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

    I remember the first time i read this and i got to the point when Batman is given Jim Gordon's picture as a 'target to kill'. My reaction at that point was 'Whoa'.

    I stopped it there to continue reading at a later date. I love this whole story, it features what Bats would do when his abilities just are not enough to do what he wants and it deals with the repercussions of his actions. Some great images in this book too.
