    All star CRAP

     Sorry but, I disagree. Respectfully of course. This was bar none the WORST Batman story I have ever read. That say's a lot because I bought it before even looking inside or reserching about it. I figured ..its Frank Miller and Jim Lee.. hell YES !!. But man was I wrong. It might have been a decent story if it was not about Batman but, it was about Batman. You can call it a re imagining or whatever , but this is just NOT BATMAN. The guy laughs like a manic, he seems happy to injure, he almost kills, and he is a complete asshole! everyone else is useless in the story. Joker is drawn way to muscular for my taste and if you can believe it laughs less than Batman. What was Frank thinking with this ludicrous dialogue.." I'm the Goddamn Batman ! ". I mean , come on. I expect much more from the man who pretty much brought life into the character again in the late 80's. This is just utter drivel that very nearly tarnished his career. The only thing that is worth mentioning is Jim Lee's art. As usual he drew it magnificently , except for maybe the Joker. It is the only comic I read and immediatly sold because I didn't even want it on my shelf. What a waste.

They are, in most cases, fans, and they are writing fiction using beloved and established characters. The only difference is that th...

      Yeah, well, I'm a big fan of this All*Star series by Miller and Lee.Sure, it's crazy and Batman is more insane than ever, he's a real psychopath here, but hell, I love it!It's interesting to read how the things would turn out, if Batman was forced to take Dick, when he's still so young. Bruce is only 24/25 here and I think he's ttly overextended, he doesn't know how to handle a kid and tries to scare Dick, so that he won't have time to think about his parents death. But actually Batman is just a...
