The worst of Sale/Loeb series This was the last of the three graphic novels by Sale/Loeb that I read (the other two being Dark Victory and The Long Halloween). It added no value and was not worth reading. The major plus is the art other than that I would skip this collection.
Good read, nothing special It's composed of three stories, the stories are nothing special. They seem like just another day in the dark knight's life.
Pretty solid book This book consists of three stories. The first one, about Batman facing off against the Scarecrow, is by far the strongest of the three. The second one, about the Mad Hatter, is still pretty good. It's more about Bruce Wayne, and I was appreciative of the fact that they showed that Batman is human. The third one is the weakest of the trio. However, the strength of the former two storeies more than make up for the flaws of the latter. The artwork in all three stories was superb by the way.
Three Excellent Short Stories A must-have for anyone for anyone who owns the other two Loeb/Sale books (The Long Halloween and Dark Victory).
This compiles three tales. The first, Fears, involves Scarecrow, a brief love affair for Bruce Wayne, and the fears of Batman. This is the strongest and most intriguing of the tales. The other two are great stories but the first alone is worth the cover price.
Recommended for Batman fans from DC nerds to Batman Enthusiasts.
Jeph Loebs worse now im a big fan of Jeph Loeb, and the Scarecrow story in particular is great, but the rest is pretty lacking. the second story involves the Mad Hatter who is a villain with great potential but it wasn't really well done. the third story is utter nonsense, a cheap take on A Christmas Carol. the artwork i found simply ghastly. i recommend you just borrow or check out the book from a library to read the Scarcrow story "Fears"
