Now we finally know what Batman thinks about the Purge movies

polygon.com:

The writer Gary Whitta, of Star Wars and his Animal Crossing late-night talk show, is digging into the world of Batman alongside his frequent comics collaborator, the artist Darick Robertson. The two launched the first issue of Batman: Fortress, advertised as the story of Batman defeating a global extraterrestrial threat at a time when Superman is unnervingly nowhere to be found.

So, we knew the series would show Batman stepping up and out of Gotham City to a much larger purview, and with the name of the series and Superman’s absence, it seemed clear that somehow the story would point to the Man of Steel’s secret base/trophy room/museum, the Fortress of Solitude.

What we didn’t know is the particular and odd wit that Whitta is putting into the story, as in a scene where Batman arrives home after a night of pacifying rioters, muggers, the Penguin, and the Joker all during a global electric blackout. Alfred asks him how the city was, and Batman replies “Crimey.” Is this stupid? Yes. Do I kind of love it? Also yes.

You might argue that Batman shouldn’t have a sense of humor, and I might argue that his jokes should simply be terrible, but the best gag in issue is actually at Batman’s expense.

What else is happening in the pages of our favorite comics? We’ll tell you. Welcome to Monday Funnies, Polygon’s weekly list of the books that our comics editor enjoyed this past week. It’s part society pages of superhero lives, part reading recommendations, part “look at this cool art.” There may be some spoilers. There may not be enough context. But there will be great comics. (And if you missed the last edition, read this.)
