This was such a mixbag for me.

This is basically a bunch of one shots or two-part stories here. Batman going around beating up on Croc, criminals, scarecrow, freeze, and more. This is a darker Batman, after the events of Knightfall, so he ain't taking shit from no one. Longer horns, very angry with the world, and he looks more like a actual bat person.

I loved the hell out of some of these pages in terms of art. Kelley Jones draws Batman in a Gothic way but in the best way. Other designs I loved were Swamp thing and Mr. Freeze. I also thought this Batman had gone through some terrible shit and it was nice to see him deal with it. Oh yeah, and this batman is also a dick to everyone and it's funny sometimes.

On flip side besides the swamp thing story most of these stories are pretty forgettable. They feel like Saturday Morning cartoon wrap ups quick and done. I also think the art while interesting and cool the art is also very over the top and sometimes you gotta laugh.

Overall, a cool look into the late 90's batman. While not perfect I enjoyed what I read. A 3 out of 5.
