The past few months have been productive ones when it comes to publishers finally releasing long-gestating projects. Hot on the heels of Captain America: White and Miracleman by Gaiman and Buckingham comes Batman: Europa, a series that was first announced way back in 2004. This first issue hardly lives up to 11 years of anticipating, but it offers a fun detour from the rest of the Batman franchise.
Europa is a story that takes Batman out of his usual stomping ground and on a whirlwind tour of Europe with a rather unusual sidekick. There's a darker thread pulling Batman along in his journey, but the emphasis is more on globetrotting adventure than grim and gritty superheroics. This series develops a strong premise by the end of this issue. The problem is merely that it takes that long. This first chapter moves too slowly and devotes too much time to setting up the core dynamic between Batman and his new partner. The issue starts off strongly enough thanks to a brutal fight between Batman and Killer Croc, but it never quite regains momentum after that point.
