Blackfire's army turns on him and rips him to shreds. Batman refuses, and instead savagely beats Blackfire in front of his army. After a brutal search through the sewers, Batman confronts Blackfire, who demands that Batman kill him and make him a martyr. Blackfire captures and brainwashes Batman, temporarily making the Caped Crusader a member of his cult, during which Batman, heavily dosed with drugs, hallucinates not only killing some of his rogues, but doing it using guns (he's even on the cover of Book 4 holding a gun).Batman eventually breaks his conditioning, but its aftereffects make it difficult for him to capture Blackfire. Starlin, heavily influenced by 'Dark Knight Returns', writes a super dark adaptation of the character with shocking moments of violence (especially gun violence), along withĭrug abuse & the societal impacts of fascistic ideas & their cults of followers.Ī reincarnated shaman, Blackfire builds up an army of homeless in the sewers of Gotham before sending them to the surface for his "war on crime", eventually overtaking the city. Hand on heart, Batman: The Cult is a fantastic Bat-tale and a must-read for fans of Batman: Year One or The Dark Knight Returns.Some of you might know him better from the Arkham Knight video game, where you saved Jack Ryder from his homicidal sacrifice, but it's a #firstappearancefriday for Deacon Blackfire, born from the pages of 'Batman: The Cult' Book One by Jim Starlin & Bernie Wrightson. And all of the artwork is backed by a mesmerising colour palette, courtesy of colourist, Bill Wray.ĭo I think Batman: The Cult is worth reading? Hell, yes! His artwork is detailed and very imaginative, with characters and scenes that stay in the mind long after the page is turned. Wrightson was a master of the macabre, having worked on various horror titles (he also co-created Swamp Thing), and his illustrations in Batman: The Cult are superb. Batman: The Cult is often regarded as a fan-favourite story and with good reason – it reads very well and it looks gorgeous.Īrtist Bernie Wrightson provided the visuals for Batman: The Cult and paired with Starlin’s writing they are incredible. Taking cues from the work of Frank Miller, writer Jim Starlin presents a tale which is deliciously dark, filled with duplicity, and steeped in gruesome imagery. ![]() Is Batman: The Cult worth reading?
