Product Description:
Batman strikes fear in the hearts of criminals, but there’s a killer stalking Gotham who’s even better at inspiring fright–and his method just might be unbeatable . . . because it’s invisible.
Unbeknownst to the general public, a powerful new designer drug has hit the streets of Gotham, courtesy of an evil genius determined to turn the expression “scared to death” into lethal reality. Unlike the Caped Crusader, who petrifies only villains, this mastermind is targeting decent citizens–and he’s come up with the ultimate delivery system. After all, the public can’t refuse something they can’t see, hear, or smell. That’s the beauty of a terror toxin that is undetectable by the human senses. And with all of Gotham’s super-villains incarcerated, Batman must hunt down a mystery madman about whom he knows nothing.
Maybe the Dark Knight should be afraid . . . because there’s plenty to fear when you go head-to-head with fear itself.

A good mystery.
Although the cover may appear to give some indication of what is going on, the story then appears to take it in a different direction.
A train driver has a strange attack in a tunnel, causing an accident. At the scene, it was discovered she was reading a horror novel.
This starts an investigation for The Batman, Gordon, a former investigative reporter who was also on the scene, and the author of the novel.
Interesting enough ... Read More

I will not claim to be a Batman expert. I have only seen the old Batman - The Movie movie (absolutely hilarious!), the new Batman Begins (Two-Disc Special Edition), and the 80's version of Batman (Two-Disc Special Edition). The biggest reason I even thought about reading this book was that it was written by Michael Reaves, whose Star Wars books I have read and enjoyed. I was a little shocked to see that it actually had a co-author since the only place you even see his name is inside the book, ... Read More

Ok so this book took a little to get in to. After about the first Hundred pages or so you really start to wonder about who the bad guy was in the book. Yea it deals with feel and at first thought your thinking the scarecrow but the author does a good job to make you think. I guess I am too much of a Batman fan but I enjoyed this book.

Novels based on characters from comics and mangas have become popular. Recently DC Comics licensed and released a number of novels based on their comic book characters.
Batman: Fear Itself (2007) is written by Michael Reeves who received an Emmy Award for his work on Batman: The Animated series. What about Steven-Elliot Altman? My paperback copy does not list him as an author.

The basic premise of this novel is simple. If you are ... Read More

The plot: Batman discovers that readers of a horror novel have been literally scared to death. Who could be behind this???
The problem: Bo-ring. Honestly, I expected MUCH better from someone who wrote for Batman: The Animated Series. In this case, it was obvious from the beginning who the supervillain behind the plot was. Had Reaves misled us (and if they had not given it away on the front cover), it would have been more interesting and a better book.
