Batman: Nine Lives is a DC Comics production from the Elseworlds line. Elseworlds takes superhero characters and tears them from their familiar continuity and places them in "what if" situations. This particular graphic novel presupposes that Bruce Wayne and his contemporaries are living their ...             Batman: The Dark Knight Returns338 reviews Frank Miller DC Comics, 1997 One of the best Batman stories + Changing the face of Batman + Fantastic Well, the title sums up my opinion on The Dark Knight Returns, though it certainly isn't the best-rounded Batman story of all time, it still leaves a significant impact on readers. The story peaks at many points, and makes large dips at others, but the ending makes up for all its minor flaws. ...             Batman: Arkham Asylum50 reviews Grant Morrison DC Comics, 1997 Poetic + Cleaver comic noir, eerie poetic mystery. First founded in the 1920s following the death of his insane mother, Amadeus Arkham converted his late mother's house into a mental institution, knowing little that he had set in motion a chain of events of horrific consequence and bizarre circumstance. Years later, the asylum had become a living ...             Gotham by Gaslight: A Tale of the Batman (Batman (DC Comics Paperback))7 reviews Brian Augustyn, Mike Mignola, ...

Even now, some thirty plus years after I began reading comic books I can still recall the issue numbers of so many of those classic Neal Adams ...             Batman: The Chalice6 reviews Chuck Dixon DC Comics, 2000 The Chalice is a Full Cup! It is such a pleasure, to see a storyline with such real appeal. Ra's al Ghul is the perfect nemesis for "the Custodian of the Cup". It is Truth, in graphic novel form. The art is completely well done using diffrent schemes to convey moods and backdrops. This, along with well written lines that are ...             Batman/Deathblow: After the Fire (Batman)5 reviews Brian Azzarello DC Comics, 2003 Smell of Leather in Every Page + Engaging stuff Brian Azzarello is out to redeem himself. After writing Cage and failing to bring out the best of that character, he comes in and takes on the Big Bad Bat. The result is perhaps one of the best well written and well drawn stories to come out from the Batman mythos for some time now. His Batman is ...             Batman: Night Cries9 reviews Archie Goodwin DC Comics, 1998 Some crimes, not even the "world's greatest detective" can solve. + A unique storyline + The Children Cry + Incredibly powerful and haunting work...             Batman: Hush, Vol. 157 reviews Jeph Loeb, Jim Lee DC Comics, 2004 Beautiful Story + Batman fans, don't miss + A Truly Exhilarating Comic Book Experience!! + Batman gives us some twists and turns + batman hush             Batman: War on Crime26 reviews Paul Dini, Alex Ross DC Comics, 1999 By a team who knows Batman like no other + A must for Batman and/or Alex Ross fans, but not your typical comic book + Wow... + Visually stunning.... + Moving and powerful and laden with messages.             Batman: Phantom Stranger1 review Alan Grant, Arthur Ranson DC Comics, 2000 Ok story. Good Art, but not worth [the money] I don't know exactly the reason I picked this up in the store, but it was an ok story with good art. I liked the novelty of the unlikely duo of Batman and the Phantom Stranger, but the plot seemed a little predictable and when I finished the story I did not feel I got my [money's] worth.             Batman: Year One Deluxe Edition51 reviews Frank Miller, David Mazzucchelli DC Comics, 2005 Genious comic. + Greatest Batman Origin Ever + Best of the Dark Knight...4 1/2 stars + Frank Millar's best Batman!             Batman & Houdini: The Devil's Workshop4 reviews Howard Chaykin, Victor Moore DC Comics, 2000 Entertaining Elseworlds diversion + Houdini by Gaslight Veering away from the usual superhero meets other company's superhero crossover, DC has Batman meeting up with a real historical figure - Harry Houdini.
