Product Description:
Batman must face his own greatest fears when the man behind the mask, Bruce Wayne, begins to have nightmares about his boyhood schoolmaster, the cruel Mr. Winchester. Now Winchester has come to Gotham City, this time with supernatural powers. And unless the Caped Crusader can stop him, he will convert the city into his own cathedral--of death.

It's not uncommon for some of the greatest "comic book" fiction to feature an amazing and surprising build up for the first 2/3rds of the story arc, and then to completely unravel down the stretch for the sake of wrapping up plots. We've seen this in the All Star Superman, 52, the various Crisis books, Dark Knight Strikes Back etc...
This story explores themes of what Gothic really means (no it's not about "me too" piercings and shallow emo music), the impact of selling one's soul, ... Read More

First off, this is all opinion and I'm sure there are people out there that will love this book. I, however, did not. The story was barely mediocre and I personally did not like the art. Frames where characters were close up were pretty good. The defacto half-page or more shot of batman that is in every book was pretty cool, but when the frames had characters far away it seemed very sloppy.
Also, the main villain had an above average back story, be he himself was not very interesting ... Read More

I really have no feelings one way or the other for Grant Morrison, so this isnt a grant morrison is God and everything he writes is awesome type reviews. Its a good story and an entertaining book, but not great by any streatch of the imagination. The story was interesting enough, although there were some parts that just left me scratching my head. Aside from some corney over the top dialog and situations (probably because this came out almost 20 years ago so i'll let it pass), there were some situations ... Read More

I dislike a reviews that give away anything but the vaguest plot points, so as usual there'll be no spoilers here.
This book is really pretty darn scary. Batman faces a foe who doesn't cast a shadow.
Although the book collects Legends of the Dark Knight 6-10 it reads seamlessly as if it were written to be a one shot graphic novel. I couldn't even figure out where one issue ended and one started. That's a nice touch in a story like this, which is a quite a cut above what you'll usually ... Read More

Though definitely not the best Batman story out there, or even the best Morrison-written Batman story out there, it is certainly worth reading. It steps away from the typical Batman crime fiction and focuses more on the supernatural. Also, it explores Batman's childhood before his parents' murder, which is always interesting. An interesting--but not "mandatory"--add-on to your Batman collection, especially if you're a Morrison fan.
