Sue Dibny, wife of Elongated Man, has been murdered. It's up to the likes of Batman, Green Arrow and Green Lantern to find the killer before anyone else is harmed.
A murder mystery with the JLA? Sounds great! How has this 2004 comic remained a controversial talking point all this time?
Infinity Crisis was written by Brad Meltzer and illustrated by Rags Morales.

Identity Crisis was a great concept that was RUINED by a ridiculous reveal. The end does NOT match the beginning. Sue hangs up the phone after leaving a message for Alfred... she hears a noise downstairs. Sue heads downstairs, and a couple pages later we see evidence of a physical attack. But when Jean tells the story, she called Sue, entered Sue's head, misjudged the mass increase, and Sue collapsed. BUT THERE IS NO SUCH PHONE CALL IN THE BEGINNING! Plus, judging by the frames in the beginning and the ending, there was NO OPPORTUNITY for Sue to call Ralph - even though Ralph received a distressed call from Sue. The ending makes NO SENSE when paired with the beginning. And that RUINED an otherwise well told tale and a great concept.

Honestly? That was one of my jumping points too. I had read some Green Lantern -Green Arrow tradebacks, Young Justice and Batman, along to being a big fan of the Timmverse, so I decided to ease my way into the main continuity with limited series and that was one of them. And I'm a murder mystery fan too, so to have that kind of story? I was stoked. Yet, the reveal felt weird for some reason and only years later I figured out why. Also, a lot was played for shock value. ................Still better tham Amazons Attack or Cry for Justice Good video! I'm going to stick around, keep the nice work

This is one of my favourite comic book stories. The writers had balls to tell what they told. Identity Crisis is dark but a great story, it’s a page turner I get that it did a lot of controversial things but I think it was a brave move on DC’s part because and like what Batman Hush (2002-03) did it introduces old and new readers to the Modern Age of DC like this is where it moves away from light hearted stories, this setting the stage for more mature ones like Identity Crisis, 52, Blackest Night, Flashpoint ect, It tells you “Hey, the bad guys aren’t playing around anymore, people are gonna get hurt, they are going to die, everything is going to change from here until now and in fact the Justice League have some secrets too, not good ones”

I recall Batman noticed Barry starring at him with remorse. Did Batman ever find out about his mind wipe?

@NuKidOnTehBlock 4 месяца назад

Yes he did - it might have been in this story or another but yeah he found out and was not happy about it haha

Hmm? Heroes know better than to step on the bat's turf without his notice, this is pre-brother eye I think

@TheVault_Comics Месяц назад

You're spot on. Batman gets his memories back, causing him to distrust the JL and create Brother Eye.

The artwork was very nice, the story though, is bad, with some very poor takes on characters and strange jumps in logic.

That interview sounds like a pretty good pitch, but it's not related to the actual story and it gets gross and weird. Strong Millar vibes from this story.
