Bruce Wayne, the billionaire behind the mask, has grown old while he's watched Gotham become more controlled by criminals and the vicious Mutant gang. Now though he has returned and nothing will ever be the same. So begins The Dark Knight Returns, the 1986 story that saw writer/artist Frank Miller reinvent Batman in a fine ...             Batman: Year One136 reviews Frank Miller DC Comics, 2007 Made to be read Over and Over again... and than some! I've never been a big fan of DC comic books, I've always preferred Marvel Comics to DC. And I'm not even that big of a Marvel fan, I just like Spider-Man, and trust me I've got a helluva lot of Spider-Man so don't worry I'm no newbie to the world of comics. But if there is ONE DC character I really really like it's Batman. The Nolan Batman films have always been better than the Raimi Spider-Man ...             Batman: Arkham Asylum (15th Anniversary Edition)113 reviews Grant Morrison DC Comics, 2005 Excellent Product & Customer Service! I ordered a book from this seller; his listing said it was "used" but in great condition. Let me tell you, it was in EXCELLENT condition - I would have thought it was brand new! Great product and understated honesty - that's what makes a great seller. Thank You!             Batman: The Killing Joke241 reviews Alan Moore, Brian Bolland DC Comics, 2008 Scariest joke ever This book is awesome, but it's definitely not worth paying for the overpriced hardback. They just released a reprint of it last month (June 2010) that you can pick up at any good comic shop for $5.             Batman R.I.P.58 reviews Grant Morrison DC Comics, 2010 Fantastic conclusion to Morrison's first run Batman R.I.P. concludes Morrison's first run on Batman. The first two volumes are "Batman and Son" and "Batman: The Black Glove". I highly recommend reading those two before beginning R.I.P. Much has been made of the complexity of this story. While this trilogy of trade paperbacks yields increased understanding on a second or third reading, anyone of sufficient attention span will do just ...             Batman: Hush22 reviews Jeph Loeb DC Comics, 2009 The Best Batman Arc in the past 20 years Hush is one of those rare stories that grips onto you and never lets go. This is jigsaw puzzle of a story and a dam good one. All the twist and turn keep coming and they never feel force or cramped. It keeps building and when you get to the end, you'll be begging for some more. It has everthing, romance, loads of action, drama, and mystery. It is my favorite Batman story of all time and maybe the ...             Batman: The Black Glove21 reviews Grant Morrison DC Comics, 2009 Morrison's Black Glove Fits All When comics' writer Grant Morrison assumed authorship of the Dark Knight's legends in 2006, he stated in a Newsarama interview (which I can no longer access from their site, sadly) that he "wanted to see a psychologically 'healthier' Batman... [one that] combines the cynic, the scholar, the daredevil, the businessman, the superhero, the wit, the lateral thinker, the aristocrat." Batman: The Black ...             Batman and Son42 reviews Grant Morrison DC Comics, 2008 Famed Scottish writer Grant Morrison's run on Batman starts with a bang! A cadre of Man-Bats, engineered by Talia's Al Ghul (daughter of deceased crime emperor Ra's Al Ghul) after blackmailing serum's creator Kirk Langstrom, kidnaps the wife of the British Prime Minister at a party Bruce Wayne is attendng too. Batman tries to help but he's defeated and taken prisoner. But Talia's plans for him are different: She leaves him with her (and his!) son, Damian, born of a ...             Batman: Long Shadows1 review Judd Winick DC Comics, 2010 One hundred words on a decent, offbeat Batman adventure "Batman: Long Shadows" is a handsome hardback collecting five consecutive issues of the Batman comic book from 2009, encompassing the first of many storylines about Dick Grayson, the first Robin, assuming the mantle of Batman following Bruce Wayne's presumed death. This particular storyline centers on Dick's understandable reluctance to fulfill the role of Batman, and his initial "shakedown" ...             Batman: The Long Halloween160 reviews Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale DC Comics, 1999 Another Dark Adventure As a super critical Batman fan, I look for suspense, mystery, adventure, violence, revenge, and every other dark quality possible in a Batman story. The Long Halloween has it all, and is my second favorite Batman title after Frank Miller's Year One. Jeph Loeb did a great job crafting this story in the spirit of Miller's Year One, and the villains Batman has to face, in addition to the gangs of ...             Batman: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?31 reviews Neil Gaiman DC Comics, 2010 Review of Gaiman's 'Caped Crusader' The original comic within this volume, 'Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader,' is one of the most interesting takes on the Batman cycle that I've ever seen. I won't speak specifically, but I should emphasize the presence of death and its outcome. Furthermore, this deluxe edition contains a few other comics, including an origin of Poison Ivy and The Riddler; these are interesting, but no where ...             Batman: Arkham Asylum Signature Series Guide9 reviews BradyGames Brady Games, 2009 Arkham Asylum Walkthrough Book This book is a lifesaver in terms of helping you in out in a complex game like arkham asymlum. THis helps you find everything hidden thing in the game, helps give stragies and tons more! I highly recommend this book if you are playing the game or have even beaten it before, it will definately help you to be even better on your second or third go around.             Batman: Heart of Hush13 reviews Paul Dini DC Comics, 2010 Dini and Nguyen make a Better Batman comic The second helping o stories from the A-Team of Paul Dini and Dustin Nguyen collects the five part tie-in with the Batman:RIP, but stands apart from that story as it is supposed to be either cuncurrent or right before the events of RIP. Dini takes Hush, a villain who had been languishing in bad writer hell for the last few years, and finally makes sense of him. When we last saw Hush, he was ...             Superman/Batman, Vol. 2: Supergirl43 reviews Jeph Loeb DC Comics, 2005 worth taking a look at This graphic novel has pretty good art work and a decent story line. There is nothing here that will blow your mind, but it is captivating and entertaining. If you are a fan of the DC universe, then this is a good trade to add to your collection.             Batman: Knightfall, Part One: Broken Bat51 reviews Doug Moench, Chuck Dixon DC Comics, 1993 batman i bought this for my nephew and he absolutely loved it.the books were brand new             Batman and Philosophy: The Dark Knight of the Soul (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series)13 reviews Wiley, 2008 Exciting depth of knowledge... on both subjects! If you're looking for a light, cheap (in the intellectual sense) read that doesn't require any thinking, this isn't your book. If you're looking for a book that shows a surprising depth of understanding both about both subjects, one that will make you think about aspects of both Batman you had never considered before and maybe teach you a few (or many) things about philosophy and interpretation ...             The Dark Knight: Batman versus the Joker1 review N. T. Raymond HarperFestival, 2008 I CAN READ SERIES I can read book series is awesome. Easy reading to a 3 1/2 year old who hangs on every word. No paragraph reading for you and keeps little one interested in whole story.             Batman: Battle for the Cowl5 reviews Tony Daniel, Fabian Nicieza DC Comics, 2009 Why? Battle for the Cowl kindles so many questions, yet provides so few answers. Who is the new Black Mask? Why make Jason Todd an absolute sociopathic killer? Why was Tony Daniel, previously known primarily as an artist, chosen to write such a critical and much scrutinized series? And the most daunting question of all, why allegedly kill off and replace Bruce Wayne at arguably the commercial apex of ...             The Dark Knight: I Am Batman (I Can Read Book 2)7 reviews Catherine Hapka HarperCollins, 2008 awesome! my child loves this book!
