I couldn't put it down last night! At first, I thought Bats was just a mean, nasty SOB but now I just think he's completely insane. I can't wait to finish this book up later.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-55808082231779904792008-12-13T11:22:00.000-05:002008-12-13T11:22:00.000-05:00All Star Batman is one of those books where you ca...All Star Batman is one of those books where you can either try and find some meaning, or just sit back and enjoy it for what it's worth. I definitely went for the second option. I too waited for the hardcover, and it wasn't until I found out that the Batman in All-Star is supposed to be the same Batman from Frank Miller's Batman: Year One, Dark Knight Returns, and Dark Knight Strikes Back, it all kind of felt more cohesive. If you haven't read those trades, I would recommend them very much. Year One is the basis for "Batman Begins", while Dark Knight is considered one of the classics of comic books, and I personally thought Dark Knight Strikes Back is one of the best straightforward superhero romps I've ever read.<BR/><BR/>All That said, ASBaR:TBW is one giant guilty pleasure.Kellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968990603380238489noreply@blogger.com
