Batman Confidential #5 provides an entertaining battle between Batman and Luther’s Robots.
I have to say that I was a little irritated by the depictions of the human soldiers in the book. Ok, I am looking at it from an American point of view, and DC feels that it has to be politcally correct and not identify a particular Army that is fighting these robots.Â
With that said, the soldiers were irritatingly poorly drawn. The General looked like Hilter and evidenced by the beer gut evident in one of the pictures, a very out of shape Hilter. Besides that, the control room looked like something out of a World War II movie. This made me wonder to myself, if they are fighting Robot soldiers with World War II technology there is no wonder they are losing.
The bottom line for me is believablity. I understood the storyline, but I didn’t FEEL the storyline because the drawings, to me, where so unrealistic. I think Portacio should have done a little more homework to make this story more believable.
