I've grown reluctantly accustomed to different authors/artists coming up with material that contradicts previous works.

The biggest flaw besides the annoying character ... Read More

This collection includes two storylines, or more like one and a half, which were originally released in the Batman comic series. The first storyline is about Batman discovering he has a son, and the second one is about Batman discovering and going up against two evil Batman impostors. Then there are two short throwaway stories which each took up one issue of the original comic series.
The main problem with this collection is that the second major storyline continues in the comics, but is cut in ... Read More
