Review of 'Batman.' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A pretty good collection written by Neil Gaiman. The title story definitely reflects the dream-like quality of story telling that Gaiman is known for. It is a good tale for the final Batman tale. The art is very good as well and suits the story. I did find myself wishing some of the stories the villains told about Batman were longer, or that more people got to tell Batman stories. The book also contains some other tales. The black and white story may be of interest to fans of the old Warner Brothers cartoons, the ones where they did those scenes of characters like Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd waiting behind stage for their turn to perform. This is what you get in the black and white story, only it is Batman and the Joker waiting to go on scene. I found this one particularly amusing. There is also a tale of Poison Ivy, and there is one where the Riddler reminisces about the good old days of crime in Gotham. Overall, this is a very good collection that I think many fans will enjoy.
