Batman Fortress #8
SCORE: 62
I found myself excited to finish off this series and see where it
would go. Batman Fortress #8 disappointed me on so many different
levels. Those whole redefine Superman’s origins continues. Along with
that new catch phrase. I did some research to find out this series is
not part of the Elseworlds. Batman Fortress would make more sense if it
was part of the Elseworlds. DC Comics decided to redefine the existence
and history of Superman. It also redefines the people of Krypton and
attacks Americans. There will be spoilers in this review.
The issues families will have with Batman Fortress #8 is violence, bad
language, blood, gore, and more. Superman is woken up by the heroes that
are in the Fortress of Solitude. Superman was hiding and hoping the
aliens would just leave. That cowardly act is part of the totally
redefined Superman in Batman Fortress #8. The aliens show up and demand
Superman be given to them. The heroes will not give him up.
Lex Luthor is the only smart one in the entire bunch. Luthor tries to
negotiate a compromise that will work for everyone. He even offers the
aliens some kryptonite so they can control Superman. The aliens freak
out over what they think is a betrayal and murder Luthor. They contort
his body and armor into a cube dripping blood. This scene is one of the
most disturbing I have read since coming back to the comic book
industry.
There is a little skirmish between the aliens and heroes in Batman
Fortress #8. Lex Luthor was proven right yet again about fighting in
that structure so far down on the bottom of the ocean. Superman stops
the fighting and agrees to come back with the aliens. Batman demands he
come along and help defend Superman. At least one of the aliens notices
that Superman is different from the others they captured.
There is twenty-two pages of comic book content within Batman Fortress
#8. Ads can be found throughout this comic book. Superman gives up his
powers in Batman Fortress #8. Bruce Wayne takes those powers and decides
he will lead humanity into a better tomorrow. He will force people to do
what he wants done. The radical far left undertones of hatred, and
dictatorship are all over Batman Fortress #8.
