Batman: Nine Lives
Dean Motter, Michael Lark
DC Comics, 2003
The more things change, the more things stay the same...
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 Black and White
Howard Chaykin, Walt Simonson, ...
DC Comics, 1998
An unexpected pleasure
+ A Worthy Addition to the Dark Knight Canon
Okay, I admit I am a Batman fan, but I just picked this up on a whim at a store. The stories are richly diverse in the drawing styles and storylines, but each piece added something to the whole Dark Knight world. I have reread it since and loved the tales more with the retelling.

Batman: Haunted Knight
Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale
DC Comics, 1996
Pretty solid book
+ Three Excellent Short Stories
This book consists of three stories. The first one, about Batman facing off against the Scarecrow, is by far the strongest of the three. The second one, about the Mad Hatter, is still pretty good. It's more about Bruce Wayne, and I was appreciative of the fact that they showed that Batman is human. ...

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight (Elseworlds)
Brian Augustyn
DC Comics, 2006
Grim and Gritty
+ Batman VS Jack the Ripper
+ Batman, the period piece.
Batman: Gotham by Gaslight is a great retelling of the Jack the Ripper murders.
Mike Mignola's artwork, masterful in its use of shade and shadow, is a perfect match for Batman. The story is compelling and offers a great twist at the end.
Unlike some techno-nerds who bitterly bewail the ...

Batman Thrillkiller
Howard Chaykin
DC Comics, 1998
thilling
+ Reclaiming the '60s from Adam West
This is the comic book that got me into comic books. The story is so unique and dark. The art work is beautifully painted by Dan Brereton. The artwork alone is enough to buy this book. But the story keeps right up with the great art work.
