Bob Kane, Bill Finger

DC Comics, 2005

A must have for Batman and comics fans

This collection of Batman stories is great! Each of the stories showcased in this collection is from a different era in Batman's history... and they are all fun to read and admire. My personal favorite in this collection is O'Neil/Adams' "The Joker's Five Way Revenge," perhaps because it is from ...

Father-Son Relationships (spoilers)

While the events of this graphic novel depict the return of Ra's Al Ghul to the land of the living, I noticed that the real theme of the story was about the relationship between a son and his father. Batman and his two adopted children, Tim Drake (the 3rd Robin) and Dick Grayson (Nightwing), join ...
  
  











  



  
Batman: Year One Hundred18 reviews
Paul Pope

DC Comics, 2007

Brilliant. The negative reviews don't "get it"

+ A Hundred Years and Running
+ Fabulous Artwork

This is not a book about a millionaire's exploits as a masked vigilante. Anyone who begins this book expecting something like Dark Knight Returns or your typical Batman story is looking at the book from the wrong perspective. What we have here is an amazing portrayal of the Batman as an ideal. A ...

Brave New DC Universe

+ Love It or Hate It, But Don't Ignore It

After reading all the negative reviews on this series, I was surprised at how much I loved it. I'm referring to the hardbound graphic novel which contains the first 9 (?) issues. Granted the language in it was over the top - how many times can you take the Lord's name in vain in one paragraph? - ...

An excellent team up

+ Graphic SF Reader

Trinity tells the tale of Batman and Superman's first encounter with Wonder Woman. The villains they must unite against are Ra's Al Ghul, with the assistance of Bizzaro and one of Wonder Woman's fellow Amazons. Sometimes when too many heroes are put in a story together, the characters fight ...

A tale where the interest is in the unmasking of the antagonist, who is of the Foolkiller variety. Batman, a little bit further into his career than in Year One (naturally) is up against an extremely formidable opponent, and he must find out his secret before it is too late. Otherwise, death will ...

Comic visionary Grant Morrison (The Filth, JLA, New X-Men; c'mon already, you know the list) came up with this Batman tale, taking place in Bruce Wayne's early part of his career as Batman. Gothic follows Batman investigating just who is picking off mobsters in Gotham City, one of which claims ...

BATMAN'S FORGOTTEN CLASSICS

The 1940's weren't just the golden age for comic books they were also the golden age for newspapers. Still several years before television would become prevalent, newspapers would be the primary way American's got their daily news as millions of copies were sold each day. And of course, inside ...
