3.0 out of 5 stars This is a great collection of Batman stories!, September 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Adventures of the Batman (Hardcover)

I recently purchased this book and was very pleased with it. I am a very big batfan and i enjoyed the book. The Catwoman stories are somewhat lacking and the book could do without the stories that do not contain a supervillain. However, the Joker stories are incredible. My two favorites are "Masks" and "On the Wire". "Masks" portrays the greates comic book rivalry of all time in a fashion that any writer would envy. Not only does it show Batman and The Joker's hatred for one another, it shows exactly how closely they are connected because of one night in an alley a long time ago. "On the Wire" digs deep into the mind of The Clown Prince of Crime. It is a truly terrifying story as to how anyone could be so insane and a genius at the same time. Batman never utters a word in this story, and it is relatively short. But, it is, in my opinion, one of the greatest Joker stories ever written. Buy this book. You'll enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Return to the good stuff, March 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Adventures of the Batman (Hardcover)

This is by far the best collection of Batman stories I have ever read. It's a return to the dark and thoughtful Batman. Many of the stories look into how Batman views himself as well as his enemies. My personal favorites are the Catwoman stories. The writers really put emphasis on the bittersweet relationship of Batman and Catwoman. Just like it should be! I really recommend this book to those of you who are looking to get back to the greater Pre-Crisis (Before Zero-Hour) stories or those of you who want to learn more about the Dark Knight. Anyway you look at, it's the Batman at his best.

I always enjoy reading how different authors treat the Batman characters and I found this book to have a lot of very different viewpoints. I love the short story format. Sometimes you can do more with a short story than through the comics. Good stuff.
