 Review of Gaiman's 'Caped Crusader' March 9, 2010
Ryan S. Mease (Chicago, IL, USA)
The original comic within this volume, 'Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader,' is one of the most interesting takes on the Batman cycle that I've ever seen. I won't speak specifically, but I should emphasize the presence of death and its outcome. Furthermore, this deluxe edition contains a few other comics, including an origin of Poison Ivy and The Riddler; these are interesting, but no where near as compelling as the centerpiece.
 Batman and Gaiman does not work January 18, 2010

I guess most of us are familiar with Batman. Not everyone reads Gaiman but he's well-known and has a good reputation for innovative writing. I had expected a lot from this book (Dark Knight/Miller and Watchmen/Moore spring to mind).
No wonder there is no hype to this book. Nadda. It's just boring! The artwork for the first two stories is damned gorgeous. Unless you are a crazed fan of Batman or Gaiman, you may want to pass over this book.
Batman, shows us what he goes through in his near death experience December 13, 2009

I'm a huge Batman fan, so of course I liked it old school art and great story. Details what Bats mind goes through as he's dying...

Great story description, BUT....You need to correct in the "Book Description" area of the product page. The two issues mentioned ARE NOT Batman #685 & Detective #852, they are
Batman #686 & Detective #853.
But the Story is Pretty Cool and this is a good price for the fact that there are extras.
Batman is dead but his legend never will be, November 28, 2009

To put it simply this is a brilliant story and this edition has wonderful extras like a Batman B/W short story and others. I will say if you need a linear story over a legend you may not enjoy it as much.
