Product Description:
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, +รก 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

This entire series of trades is a huge mess. The stories jump everywhere and I had no idea what was happening. They didn't include key issues in this set so I found myself confused trying to fill in the blanks with information I read online. Stuff just seemed to randomly happen with no purpose or meaning behind it and the characters all acted like they expected these things to happen.
I can't say I recommend this to anyone. If you want to hunt down the missing issues then give it a ... Read More

First of all, I found volume 3 far better then volume 2.
This Volume is worth a read and those missing Nightwing and Robin will be glad to see their return. Also, there is a great story involving poison Ivy and Clayface and even Superman makes an appearance. Very enjoyable.
If you found Volume 2 to lack some of the qualities of Volume 1, as I did, Volume 3 renews faith in where this epic story is going.
I gave it 3 stars simply because at the same time...It didn't blow my ... Read More

(Note: This is a review for No Man's Land Vol. 3. Amazon groups all five volumes and the novelization as one product.)
This third volume in the "No Man's Land" series will be remembered as the first appearance of the new Batgirl, whom Batman passes the mantle to after unmasking the old one (you can probably guess who it was, but I won't spoil it). Superman also visits Gotham, Billy Pettit finally splits from the Gotham Blue Boys, and Batman and Robin have to free Poison Ivy from Clayface.

This continues the storyline of the battle for the ruined Gotham. It's a well told tale.

Again Batman finds himself struggeling to understand his own destiny. He wrestles with the desire to serve Gotham, yet at the same time he is faced with overwhelming odds, and realizes he can't go at it alone. It reminded me of the Batman who we loved, the "Dark Knight." Batman has always clung to his own demons, and in this series these demons are ever present, and Batman again is the renegade who fights to come to terms with his own weaknesses and loss, while at the same time offering hope to the ...
