BATMAN : KNIGHTFALL

Rating:
Summary: "Dark Knight-New Light"
Review: The story of Batman was always a bright & humorous part of my life, as seen in reruns of the 60's TV series with Adam West & Burt Ward AND the cartoon, "Justice League of America" every Saturday morning. I never really collected the comic books (as great as they are), nor did I become aware of how Batman came to be until 1989, when the caped crusader hit the movies in a darker light. This is the first novel I've read based on a comic book series (A series that has developed far beyond the TV series, cartoons & films). IT WAS AWSOME! Even with little knowledge of the storyline which preceeded "Knightfall", I was always on the same page (no punn intended) with the author, becoming more & more fascinated with this story of a man, his cause, his fears, and his struggles to regain the identity he created...The Batman.

Summary: Batman still Rules the Night
Review: This has got to be the best written Batman novel ever published. i have read the book and the comics and I have to say that this book takes you beyond. It lets you form your own Batman image. It makes you see the man behind the Bat and takes you to a whole differentr dimension. In the comic you can see Batman face up his enemies and fears, but in the book, you just have to let you mind wander. You see him, but you create that picture yourself. In all, this book takes you beyond a character that's moree human than any other in any lifetime. He is a hero, but a hero that shines through and through. He's a regular guy with no "super" powers, but that of great determination and course. Through it all. Batman lives. He's the Caped Crusader and not even you, the Joker, Azrael or even Bane can change that. Batman rules the night and he always will.
