3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but...., February 27, 2007

This review is from: Tales of the Batman (Hardcover)

This book is a good collection. There are some good stories, including a subway serial killer, a story about the Joker in World War 2, and a story about the Riddler that is good called "Wise Men of Gotham."

Now the book claims that it features Two-face and the Riddler. There is only one Riddler story and not a SINGLE Two-face story. Not a single story in this book features him. This made me upset because I think that Two-face is one of the best Bat-villains, and I got the book because he was on the cover.

So hopefully you will see this review and make your decision with the knowledge that the cover is misleading. I hope that helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sort of a 'best of' past Batman short stories., March 6, 2010

Vulture: A Tale of the Penguin by Steve Rasnic Tem is probably one of the best short stories of this nature ever written, yes ever. I cannot recommend this story enough. This story alone is worth the price of the book, although most of the stories are quite good.
