Rating:  - Another Batman Classic!
Okay,when DC was planning this storyline they knew they were treading into new territory.It would be a controversial time in the comics industry where the companies wanted to get more mature with their readers.DC lead a campaign in whicn the fans would vote to either kill Robin(Jason Todd,Dick Grayson's predecessor)or to let him live at the end of the story.Long story short,the Joker ends up beating Jason within an inch of his life with a crowbar.Batman was elsewhere at this time.Jason discovered ...

Rating: - Excellent story line
anyone looking into this book should buy it. It's an excellent read very easy to follow, and is one of the most defining moments in the batman universe
Rating: - Graphic SF Reader
Here we are again lucky enough to have the fantastic talents of Jim Aparo drawing Batman.

Rating:  - Important to Batman Timeline, but that is the only reason to read
First, I want to state no graphic novel is going to get five stars from me. As much as I enjoy Batman, to give any of them five stars would be a stretch. After all, how many are on par with Twain, Fitzgerald, Hemmingway, ect.
So, with that said, I have to state this is even poor for a graphic novel. The plot line is weak. The story itself is weak. If not for the killing of a key member in the Batman family, this would be unreadable.
In other words, read it for the time ... Read More
