Reviews:
Ever since I was a child I was not quite fond of Batman (coz he has no super powers whatsoever!) and i certainly don't like anthologies. Then a friend of mine (thanks Anthony!) lent me a Batman book entitled Batman: Black and White.

My initial reaction was, "oookay, let's see what so special about Batman." So since this is just an anthology book (which means the book is composed of different short stories), I decided to try two short stories and see if I should continue to read the book or not.

So I started with the short stories penned by the writers I'm familiar with (i.e Neil Gaiman and Bruce Timm). Fortunately though, I HIGHLY enjoyed those two stories. So I tried another one by Dennis O'Neil (i think) and that too was GREAT. And within 2-3 hours i finished the whole damn book!!!!

Basically, if you don't like Batman I can guarantee you that in the 15+ short stories included in this book (written & drawn by some of the greatest artist/writers of any generation) you will find 3-5 stories that will definitely change your mind about the Dark Knight. But if you like Batman, this book SHOULD be included in your bookshelf!
