Just so wonderful to encounter a collection of stories where each entry is well crafted, a slightly different iteration of Batman, matched with the heavy hitters of his rogues gallery, another peek into that world. Impressions of each story as follows:
The Buttler Did it -dark and sad take on Alfred and Bruce relationship
All of the Above - In case it wasn't clear that Batman is a badass. ..
The Crime Never Committed - loved everything but the ending, could have used a couple pages more for a resolution
Crisis in Identity - absolutely loved, anything where Joker's in play, where the nature of Batman is under discussion, really dug the art style, way it was drawn and use of colour, violent but fantastic (note to self, see what else Ben Templesmith has leant his hand to)
Letters to Batman - emotional, violent, but heart warming
A Game to Die For - helluva twist, but overall just tragic
Batman The Movie - pretty much exactly what you'd expect to happen if anybody were foolish enough to try
Together - Eloquently horrifying as any time spent contemplating that character's existence always is
A Slam Bradley Mystery - I've got a soft spot for grizzled hard luck cases who still try to do the right thing, I wouldn't mind seeing this character wade into another dangerous situation
