Review:
While I am not a huge fan of Batman I have to admit I enjoyed this take on him and his story. I liked that they added some unique points like his friends and actually giving him an interesting personality. I had a few niggles with the plot but they weren't too bad, and they didn't stop me enjoying the book. I am really enjoying the DC Icons series and am looking forward to Catwoman later in the year.

I gave this book 3.5 out of 5 stars.
