Summary: Batman's Fifties Funnies
Review: The stories included in this anthology were some of those I grew up with. Back then, kids could go to garage sales and pick up dozens of comics for a few dimes apiece. Not so today, where everything has been indexed price-wise and counter-indexed.

A good read for those of you who prefer more self-contained stories rather than today's lengthy multi-issued epics, but they were fun and at times rather silly.

The introduction is well written, and gives the reader some insight into the era. The Comics Code was in effect, which forced the company and writers to be more careful in what they put out.

The one drawback (in my humble opinion) is sometimes how embarrasing the dialogue is. I cringe a bit when I read the thought balloons between Batman and Batwoman. One wonders if the writers were conscious of that at the time.

Still, it's nice to see Bruce and Dick have a better friendship than what's coming across these days.

The artwork, some by Dick Sprang is great,and reminds me of the time when everything in the comics was indexed like the contents of Batman's utility belt where it possessed maps showing what tools went where.

A fun read. I look forward to Superman in the Fifties.

Summary: Good but the sixties one is better...
Review: This is an enjoyable book of Golden Age Batman. Here you get many great stories of classic Batman and Robin going up against some great classic villains like Joker (as The Red Hood),Catwoman,Two Face and Mr. Freeze. This time Batman and Robin get some help from Batwoman,Ace The Bathound,Batmite and even Superman. I'm more a fan of Silver Age comics,but I still liked this book and I think it will keep fans of Batman entertained almost as well as Batman in the sixties did.
