Superman Vol. 1: Before Truth by Gene Luen Yang
Sigh. I miss the old Superman, when he wasn't all angsty and stuff. I liked the interaction between him and Jimmy, but the revelation about his identity fell flat for me.
This was an intriguing tale about one of Batman's greatest foes: Ra's Al Ghul. Batman makes a deal to help Ra's Al Ghul in exchange for speaking with his dead parents but this is more of a tale of the other daughter Ra's Al Ghul had and why she hates him so. I found it to be a bit overly dramatic, and the Nazi concentration camp stuff to be slightly problematic but overall, I enjoy it.
Whoops, I hadn’t realized when I bought this on discount and started reading it that I’d already read this one! I got about halfway through and thought some things seemed awfully familiar and that I could almost know what was going to happen next. So then I checked on here and found that I had in fact, already read this before haha. But it had clearly been long enough that I didn’t remember all the details and I was already halfway there so I just read it all again. It’s a good one too, so I don’t particularly mind!
This one is kind of a different sort of Batman story to me because instead of some supernatural power turning out to be something based on reality or science, this time it actually was just supernatural. The backstory of the villain is very interesting and immersed into Batman’s own history which was a different perspective as well.
The art is a much older style in this one and not my favorite, but I still enjoy the storyline enough that it doesn’t bother me too much.… (more)

The Dennis O'Neil story that concludes the volume is a decent-but-nothing-special story about Gordon's brief career in Chicago before coming to Gotham, but the two Chuck Dixon stories forming the rest of this collection are excellent, gripping crime stories, and warmly recommended to anyone who enjoys the grounded end of the tales set in Gotham City, where Batman is at most a distant background figure and police, criminals and politicians take centre stage.
