In the late 1980s, artist-entrepreneur Tony Wong’s company Jademan released English language reprints of such Hong Kong fare as Oriental Heroes, Drunken Fist, Force of Buddha’s Palm, and Ma Wing-Shing’s Blood Sword. After some initial popularity, the public’s interest in Chinese comics waned, and Jademan ceased publication in the United States. However, Hong Kong manhua (Chinese comics originally produced in China) experienced a resurgence of sorts when ComicsOne began releasing popular HK comics like Weapons of the Gods, Mega Dragon and Tiger, and Storm Riders to American readers. Perhaps inspired by this, DC Comics hired Tony Wong to try his hand at drawing one of the company’s flagship characters: Batman. From a storytelling standpoint, Doug Moench’s writing is a little bit on the thin side. Artistically speaking, however, the union between Tony Wong’s Hong Kong style and the Dark Knight Detective is a proverbial match made in heaven. The Hong Kong method of mixing in traditional penciled art with full-color paintings results in a series of memorable imagesthe artwork is that good. If you are a fan of manhua or a fan of Batman this TPB’s for you. Broomhandle Mauser’s 200th scan for DCP.

West meets East as Batman travels from the dark streets of Gotham City to the flashy world of Hong Kong on the trail of a serial killer who uses streaming video to prove his kills. A hapless computer nerd hacks into the assassin’s Web site, attempting to report the crime to Commissioner James Gordon. Although Gordon is initially dismissive, when the witness becomes the next victim, he realizes there was nothing fake about the report. When Gordon learns of a Hong Kong connection to the crime, Batman comes to the rescue, traveling abroad to put an end to the spree This original graphic novel is a fantastic juxtaposition of Asian and American elements that bridges the gap between comics and manga. Wong, a legendary comics artists in his native Hong Kong, displays art that explodes off the page with an electric mix of painted and hand-drawn images. Although the story is somewhat trite, it resembles a Jet Li or Jackie Chan movie, with superheroes who should appeal to a broad range of readers and interests. Publisher’s Weekly
