These are reprints of "Legends of the Dark Knight" from the late `90s which was a series that dealt with the early days of Batman when he was starting out.
The first is by James Robinson and has Bats go over to London to fight "werewolves". Robinson was never the best Batman writer and having a foggy London and gruesomely monstrous werewolves in the background don't make a compelling read. It was kind of sluggish and dull.

These three stories aren't too bad. They should be considering the quality of the names lined up here. Alan Grant's Clayface effort is the best of the trio - the script and art are both pretty good. But what is the point of this book? No self respecting Batman fan is going to want to buy a book containing three random stories. The stories are ok but nothing special - so it's not as if this is a cherry picking selection. So a star deducted for stupid marketeering.
I read anything with Batman in it even when I shouldn't. I trudged through reading Batman turning into a vampire, because well the man has been my favorite (vigilant) super hero. I don't enjoy seeing Batman up against the paranormal. I enjoy reading about him actually going up the villains created for him to fight. They are more entertaining and have more depth. Horror and Batman just don't mix.
Completely average. All the issues within are from the nineties, and the artwork shows. The stories themselves are the most lackluster Batman stories I've ever read. The three stories within are about a "werewolf," zombie things, and Clayface.
I was hoping the Clayface one would be awesome, but it was probably the worst of the three.
All in all, this one does not need to be read.

Long-winded review here (Please note: there's some swearing...chances are there will be swearing in anything I link to, so if you don't like that, don't follow links from here):

not the best collection ever, i can safely say. it was quite interesting to read something of warren ellis' that was this old (i really haven't read much of his pre-transmet stuff), and his story alone bumps this up to three stars.
Some of the best John McCrea art I have ever seen.
as much as I perversely adore Warren Ellis, this was a sad adaption for the Batman. I hold out hope for Neil
Gaiman . . .
