Amazon.com Review:
Fans of Batman are lucky to get Greg Rucka--the talented, gritty young author of Keeper and Finder, among others--sharing time with their favorite licensed character in this novelization of DC's complete No Man's Land comic series. (And fans of Rucka--assuming they get around to reading this at all--will still likely hold the opinion that Atticus Kodiak could take Batman in a standup fight any day.)
DC shook up Gotham--literally--in its 1999 Batman plot arc: a 7.6 earthquake rocked Gotham City, wreaking enough destruction to bring the broken, crime-ridden, runt kid-brother of Metropolis and New York to its knees. In the story line's most indulgent liberty, those fat cats in Washington decide to write off Gotham, à la Escape from New York, blowing up the connecting bridges, mining the surrounding waterways, and signing into law the Federal Declaration of No Man's Land, which makes it a crime to even set foot in the city. The usual suspects from Arkham Asylum, Two-Face and the Penguin, the Riddler and Dr. Freeze, Poison Ivy and Mr. Zsasz, file out to begin running the show, strong-arming and manipulating the block-by-block turf battles that envelop the now-ultraviolent city. A conflicted Batman shows up fashionably late, only to find that these lunatics are the least of his worries: Lex Luthor, Superman's archfoe, has nefarious designs on Gotham too. Could this possibly get any better? Sure, No Man's Land is derivative fiction, but the appeal of Rucka--and, of course, Batman--can make this one worth the read. --Paul Hughes

Even Superman has a strong feeling that it's hopeless.
The good residents of Gotham City have barely survived two outbreaks of a deadly virus and now a severe earthquake has caused hideous devastation. The federal government has set a time-line for people to permanently vacate the area before all possible roads leading out of the city will be destroyed or barricaded.
Superman wants to help, but personally sees the destruction and will not take part in clearing the streets ... Read More

Batman has always been the quintessential vigilante, working from outside the law to protect his city. But what happens when he fails abjectly in his protection? And what happens when the governing laws and rules of conduct are stripped away from Gotham, transforming the city into a hell on Earth? The epic BATMAN: NO MAN'S LAND explores this exact premise.
It starts with biological attacks which savage Gotham's population (told in Batman: Contagion & Batman: Legacy (Robin) (Nightwing) (Catwoman) ... Read More

This book is an example of why Batman is so great. Much like the current Captain America run the story goes on even thought the main character is MIA. The best part of Batman, in my opinion, is the Rogue Gallery. And this epic tale features a majority of the Rogues and most of Batman's allies and is pretty much a who's who of Gotham. One of my favorite Batman tales and highly recommended

I would not pay 18 dollars for this book. The 12 dollar price seems more appropriate especially with free shipping. This book contains 2 different stories in the No Man's Land saga. I preferred the first story over the second but they were both enjoyable. The first story has a lot to do with the Gotham City Police Department which I liked. The second story was very much about Huntress which probably isnt a bad thing for a lot of people. I personally want to be reading about Batman in a Batman trade, not Huntress, ... Read More

Great read. I left the comic book scene right after this happened in the comics and was able to catch up easily with this graphic novel!
