I loved this book! it had all the right themes and tones of a great Batman story. The monsters plus the Mob is awesome and thrilling. This is truly a great cobination. The only element in the story I didn't care for so much was Bruce's love interest, with the exception of her father.

I'm a longtime Batman fan, so I can enjoy just about anything featuring him; but I've read better, and probably won't re ... Read More

Batman and the Monster Men takes place roughly one year into Batman's career. It's a retro story placing an older storyline into current continuity and has Batman dealing with the mafia as usual, but for the first time faces a much greater challenge he's never dealt with before.
At this point in his career, Batman believes he is on the brink of putting an end to organized crime in Gotham once he puts an end to the much talked about, but never seen, Carmine Falcone's operations. In addition ... Read More
