I really liked 80% of this.

The first story is probably my favorite. Having Scarecrow as the main villain usually works for me. He's especially unhinged and a piece of shit here, so was nice to see his craziness on full display. I also loved how Badass Batman came off here, but also losing himself to the city's madness. The Mad Hatter story was also pretty good.

The very last story was decent but I think tried to have too many moving pieces and didn't fully click. Loeb tends to throw a TON of villains into his stories, and the joker segment didn't really work for me in the end.

But overall a very fun collection of older stories where Batman has to use both his brains and brawn, to win his battles. A 4 out of 5.
