The most fun you can have without pictures.... June 29, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
When I bought this book I actually thought it was a graphic novel. I love almost all of the Batman stories and have long been a fan of the darkness consistent in all of the best ones, but had never tried reading any of the novels because I thought they could never live up to the comics. So when I received this one I was at first very annoyed. I decided to give it a go though and within a few pages was well and truly hooked. The best thing about this story is the way it can cover Batman's inner monologue as a calculating scientific and very human crimefighter in a way very few comics have the time or space to. The best comparison I have found in comics was actually a page in the seminal Dark Knight Returns that got me hooked on comics as a whole and Batman in particular many years ago "There are seven working defenses from this position: Three of them disarm with minimal contact. Three of them kill. The other... hurts"
Safe to say that this is the best Bats story I have read in a long time, and cannot praise it highly enough. READ IT!!
Batman just starting out! April 27, 2007

This book is really well written and does really enforce batman's unique character and darkside. This book is based when batman is just learning the ropes at being the cape crusader and the things that turned into the dark character he becomes later on. It's good to see batman's character development and what mistakes he had to make to become such a legendary super heroe. This is a good book to add to the batman collection, so if you're a fan of the comic or superheroes in general then its worth a read.
