Later Printings Better

I got my copy and have none of the descibed problems of oversaturation of colors, etc... Yes, these are not the original colors, but modern computer coloring and rendered backgrounds, however, they look as good as any current comic. Although I grew up with the originals, I think it is kind of neat seeing them this way. NOTE: Mine is NOT a first edition. Perhaps they corrected the problem with later printings.

the real Batman flavor

This stories hooked me up to Batman the rest of my life. This is the Batman we all love. The stories and art are the core of the film we enjoy today.

Will the REAL Batman please stand up....

Okay, here's the scoop. I have been collecting comics for over 35 years. I have all of the individual books that are in this volume (as well as volumes 1 and 3). All of the stories are now collected together. 1) This compilation of Batman stories and covers is outstanding. 2) The new coloring is gorgeous. 3) To younger comic fans exposed to the current field of writers and artists: if you want to see THE definitive Batman, that is, how a comic book story should be told and drawn, buy this volume. Period.
