Customer Reviews

Sort of a 'best of' past Batman short stories.

Vulture: A Tale of the Penguin by Steve Rasnic Tem is probably one of the best short stories of this nature ever written, yes ever. I cannot recommend this story enough. This story alone is worth the price of the book, although most of the stories are quite good.

Now where did I leave it......?

I bought this book when Batman Forever came out, and I loved it, but when I finished it, I could never find it. The one I recommend is the one when Bruce Retires from being Batman (No, not in the case of Batman Beyond) and a group was making a Batman Biography series and he tells them about the good old days.

good stories

this ones a non-bore! all batman fans will enjoy this book. I hardley knew anything about batman and i still enjoyed it. these short story books are better than single story ones. a ttally good book except for the stories without bats in em.(theres like 2 of them in the book)
