Summary: A Return To A Kinder, Gentler Era Of Comic-Books.
Review: Comics legend Stan Lee teams with fellow icon Joe Kubert to give a new spin to legendary DC character Batman. (Lee was the co-creator of such Marvel Comics as Spider-Man, Thor, The Hulk, etc.) This is Stan's first attempt at doing DC characters, and the result is a nostalgic mixture of Modern DC and classic Marvel. Stan gives us Wayne Williams, an inner-city teen framed by gangster Handz Horgum. Wayne languishes in jail, building his body and mind, waiting for the day when he can have his revenge.
Of course, he adopts the guise of a bat.....and in a tip of the hat to Spider-Man, Batman becomes a world-famous professional wrestler.
The only place where the story really stumbles is when Stan tries to lay the groundwork for the rest of the series by introducing another villain. It doesn't really fit with the tone of the book. Fans of Stan Lee's classic Marvel work will find this first chapter of Just Imagine a trip down memory lane. (And how great is Kubert's art?)

Summary: I would think twice before buying
Review: I bought this book thinking that Stan Lee would be re-creating Batman with some spark so you could go WOW but once you have read it was more like OH the story as to how he became Batman was crap, the Batman costume was disgusting there was just nothing that I liked about it, I was very disapointed with it, I would really think twice before buying this book. I hope that I have helped you.

Summary: Ah No. Bob Caine did it better.
Review: When Batman was first created in 1939, Bob Caine and his partner Bill Finger created a very human/complex character. With all due respect to Stan Lee, his take on the Batman story just does not work,although I give him credit for at least trying. I think most of the other Just Imagine stories that he's done have been good or fairly good books to read and hope DC releases them all in a collected Trade paperback book some day.
