About book Gotham Central Deluxe Edition, Book 1: In The Line Of Duty (2004)
A fun read! So if you watch Gotham, than this is 10x better! This knows what it wants to be: a cop comic with one or two cameos from Batman and some of his villains! This book has three case stories: one with Mr. Freeze, one with Firefly and a standard homicide you would see on any cop show! What surprised me is how they were all connected in the end! This is a great read for any cop show fan, you don't have to be into batman to like this! Rucka and Brubaker have put together a solid comic here. Imagine being a decent cop patrolling the streets of Gotham, rolling into Batman's costumed freaks for enemies. Outgunned by the bad guys, and relying on a vigilante with better resources, the cops are resentful to be caught up in the craziness. By focusing on how real people, with their own stories and drama, exist in such a world, it's a fresh and interesting take on Batman. It helps that the characters are interesting and feel like actual cops.

Strong cop stories, which made the few superhero bits almost seem like a shame.

Awesome new spin on Gotham. I'd watch this tv show. Somebody make it.
