Product Description:
In 1996, DC Comics published the groundbreaking miniseries Batman: Black and White, which featured a powerful selection of short stories written and illustrated by some of the top names in comics.

Now I love Batman, and the fact that I worship anything Batman is what got this thing the two stars. I even loved the first Black and White. I thought it was art and fascinating. But oh man is this a huge let down. The stories are so boring I could barely force myself to read it and the art is extremely unimpressive. This isn't just a waste of money, it's a waste of your time. Sorry Batman, you failed me here.

In my Astro City: Local Heroes review, I may have been a little harsh on what is, overall, a great series (even if I stand by my review of that particular trade), saying that Astro City shows the limits of the viginette format, and Batman Black and White proves true, except with Black and White, writers get about eight pages. It's just hard to make a great graphic novel with the short story format like Batman Black and White.
This book is a series of unrelated black and white stories featuring ... Read More

Seeing the Dark Knight in black and white is what made me give this book 5 stars. The black and white artwork was awesome! I must admitt that the short stories were just average, however the artwork saved the short medicore stories.
Well worth the discounted price I paid for it from Bud Plant Comic Art. A solid 5 star read.
