I am a huge batman fan and this is a great batman comic, especially for people new to reading comics or even batman itself. It starts with a little back story then jumps right to main story line in this series. It incorporates the classic batman that we all know and love, with a new batman you will

Easily the best treatment I've seen for Catwoman. Also a great use of "extended universe" characters. Also the art had some great specifics to it, like the wrinkles in the batsuit, and the fabric actually looking like fabric and not a perfect bodysuit. All in all, great volume, I'll have to read
