This collection written in the seventies is very much a throwback to the Golden Age Batman comics of the forties, not only in the resurrection of long-forgotten Golden Age characters, but also in its overall style and tone... From the strained relationship between Batman and the Gotham City Police Department, to the Joker's method of publicly announcing his targeted victims and their times of death before penetrating police cordons with ingeniously elaborate murders (outwitting both batman & the ...

If you have not read these stories, you should first be aware that you know them. Or rather - you know this Batman. From the time these stories debuted, this has been described as the "definitive" Batman. This is Batman as we knew him from the 1970s onward, in comics, in film, on TV.
In 1977, these stories were a shocking bolt from the blue: They presented Batman with deadly villains, real consequences, a complex personal life and internal conflicts without easy answers.

Batman: Strange Apparitions (1999) - Steve Englehart, Len Wein (Writers) Marshall Rogers, Walt Simonson (Artists)
First of all, I would like to mention that although the "Strange Apparitions" trade was released in 1999, it actually collects classic Batman stories that originally came out in a string from 1977-1978.

This book doesn't really have a definitive storyline. The story lines carry over from one issue to the next and so there's a continuity to it all, but could be read as stand alone stories. The most interesting arcs in here are the budding ... Read More

A reviewer here correctly stated that every Bat-fan will have his or her own idea of what constitues "definitive" Batman: Caped Crusader? Master Detective? Dark Knight? Heck, I even know someone who didn't care much for the excellent (and, in my mind, an example of definitive) movie Batman Begins because he thought "It wasn't funny enough." He apparently prefers the high camp of Adam West's Batman. So it is that I, sadly, have to diagree with those who enjoyed this book. I had high hopes, based on the ... Read More
