Batman. with other tales of the Dark Knight by Gaiman, Neil.

★★★★☆

Reviewed by Robert N on Jun 5, 2017

Tagged: Comics and Graphic Novels

In the same vein as, but markedly different from, "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow", this collection of comics by Gaiman casts a scrying eye into aspects of the dark knights character that have rarely been explored before. In addition to the two-part title story, three one-shots are included, each of which is as original and entertaining as the main one.

Heaping my own praise upon this Hugo award-winner would be redundant if not downright wasteful. Read now what is destined to be a new classic.

Radically different than the motion picture based upon it, but enjoyable on its own as a pared down, darker tale.

Read aloud with the family - went in blind purely on the author's reputation. It stands with any of his others as a modern classic.
