Summary: The Worst of Batman Harbound Graphic Novels
Review: Everything about this book "says" magizine format, yet, DC rips the reader of with a hardbound. I keep it, and would buy it regardless, because I collect the hardbound graphic novels. The story is for the 12-14 year old male who loves "rock" music and in some way wants to feel validated about his musical taste. It is mostly a generation gap story where both Batman and Robin understand eachother a little bit more at the end of the book. The art work is average and the story better suited for a price of two bucks. If it sold at the magazine news stand price, it would be worth. But a hardbound book is like going to the movies after a matinee. You pay full price because it is worth it. This book is more liek the ABC movie of the week. Little investment for a little enjoyment. If you are buying this book as a gift, get it for a boy 12-14, in to rock music and Batman. He will give it a big "thumbs up." But to everyone else, who is a Batman fan, get something else.

Summary: Incredible Batman story based on rock music
Review: This graphic novel is a great example of what comics can be. Anyone with an interest in Batman or rock music will enjoy this book. The story concerns a young musician who some believe is destined to save the soul of rock. Others, including the Batman, dismiss him as a greedy servant of evil. Robin, however, is a fan. Debate rages in the Batcave as elsewhere, until the young star, driven by visions of the God of Rock (a blond-haired version of Elvis, dripping with verisimilitude) disappears and begins to lose his mind. The story shows some interesting aspects of the batman/robin relationship and manages to tell a compelling superhero story set against the backdrop of the turbulent music industry.
