    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed reading this anthology of different Batman stories done by various authors and artists - I read it mostly for the artwork, (all in black and white clearly) most of which was splendid. Some of the stories were pretty cool and inventive too. I'll definitely check out Vol. 2.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a quality collection of different stories relating to Batman. Some show him as a silent assassin, some as a tough bruiser and some just aren't about him solving murders at all. I think my favorite has to be the one where the father kills his son's cat and then wants Batman to defend him.
