Summary: 3 Fine Stories
Comment: Set early in Batman's career, these tales show what Gotham's worst criminals do on All Hallow's Eve.

In the first story, entitled 'Fears', Batman confronts the Scarecrow, who's destroying Gotham's power plants, then using the subsequent darkness to commit crimes.
In the second story, entitled 'Madness', Batman battles the Mad Hatter, who has captured children in his perverse version of 'Alice in Wonderland'
And in the third story ('Ghosts'), Batman confronts the ghosts of his past, present, and future. Loosely based on 'A Christmas Carol', Batman has to deal with his inner demons.

As I've said before. Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale are perfectly suited to bring us tales of the Dark Knight. These stories are very well written by Loeb, whose words mesh well with Sale's dark artwork.

The only reason this book doesnt get 5 stars is for the somewhat linear Mad Hatter story. I may be a bit biased, because the Mad Hatter is my least favorite Batman villain, but I was a little disappointed with it. The other two stories, however, are marvelous.

Overall, this book is well worth owning. I strongly recommend it.

Summary: Great Batman Tales with a Halloween Theme
Comment: This is a collection of 3 Jeph Loeb/Tim Sale Halloween tales. Jeph and Tim are known for their magic together, and add Batman and you have instant classics. This is a great book. The 3 stories are different than each other, each tale looks at aspects of Batman's life. The Third story is a Halloween/Batman twist on Dicken's Christmas Carol, worth the book right there.

Rating: 5
Summary: A Great Fast Paced Read
Comment: This tells the of the early tales of the Dark Night. Before Robin, before all the other stuff. Down to the simple core of Batman.

I liked how the 2ed story features a young Barbra Gordon. Little has been shown as to her early days being Gordon's adopted daughter. It was good to see her, before she became Batgirl.
