About the author

He currently holds the title as artist of the most circulated Batman and Superman comics of all time.

Note from mom: HOW many times did I read this book to you?

[Nikki in Niagara · Rating 3 out of 5]

The only thing that saves this from two stars is that Bane is a pretty cool bad guy we don't get to see all that often. Bane breaks out and goes straight for Batman. The rest of the issue they battle it out with each other until, well, the same guy always wins at the end of these comics. Every book is a happy ending for the Bat. Not much here for adults. Little ones looking for a fun Batman they can read have found their match with The Batman Strikes! This is a reinforced library edition of the 4th issue of 50 comics. The first 21 are available in digital format.
