This is the question that this two-part comic is trying to answer. The very end of Batman. The title, as Neil Gaiman explains in the foreword, is a pun to...

Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader is my second exposure to Neil Gaiman.Earlier in the year, I read American Gods and while I loved the premise, the execution bugged me. I found it long winded and a little on the boring side. I was sure that when you put the mind of Gaiman into the Batman uni...

A pretty good collection written by Neil Gaiman. The title story definitely reflects the dream-like quality of story telling that Gaiman is known for. It is a good tale for the final Batman tale.

One of the reviews on the back of this graphic novel says it perfect. This is pretty much just a long love-letter to the Batman character and franchise as a whole.

I think that even the Riddler was made...

I'm always drawn to reading X's person's interpretation of the Batman mythos, but then I never really enjoy reading about Batman that much. Batman has more interesting bad guys than any other superhero though.

DC Comics has me pegged. Stick Neil Gaiman’s name on something and I’ll buy it. Shoot, there’s a good chance that I’ll buy it more than once, depending on what you keep adding to the releases. Knowing this about myself, I’m always a little surprised when something he’s written just sort of shows ...

His friends and foes are assembled to give their respects and tell how Batman died.The thing I've always liked about Neil Ga...
