"I don't want to call (author and artist) Jhonen Vasquez a genius because he wouldn't agree, but he's very good. Fantastically written, very funny and with biting social observation. READ IT!"
"Perhaps my favourite Batman story; Jeph Loeb's writing and Jim Lee's artwork makes the action whizes along without pause for breath, delivering a true detective story for the Dark Knight."
"Artist Tim Sale teams up with veteran comics writer Frank Miller. I know 'The Dark Knight Returns' is the classic, but this one is fantastic too and deserves to be read."
"Morrison's tale is more character study than plot driven, but the dramatic exchanges between the Joker and Batman, and Dave McKean's incredible artwork, make it a must-read."
"If you haven't seen the film (and it's actually very good) then read this first. Very different from it's screen adaptation and both are all the stronger for it."
"Fantastic adaptation of Gaiman's novel by writer Mike Carey. This is the first graphic novel that made me fall in love with the medium. My wallet has been suffering ever since."
"Being a fan of the films, I thought I'd give one of the books a go, and with Kevin Smith behind the pen this seemed as good as any. It's a great story but takes a peculiar turn towards the end. Hmm.."
"I'm no comics buff but somehow I managed to read this before the film got made, and it's much better! A great horror story with great artwork that just adds to the whole feel and atmosphere."
"Only read this first one in this series, but I'll definitely be making my way through them! Ellis' writing is fantastic, giving (anti-) hero Spider Jerusalem (great name!) some brilliant lines."
"Ross' art is phenomenal but it can feel overwhelming. Likewise, I enjoyed the story but I don't think capes and tights are really my thing. Superhero fans however will love it."
"Despite not being a big superhero fan, I do like my Batman as you can tell! Alan Moore's legendary Joker story receives the special edition treatment, thanks to interest created by the new films."
"Jeph Loeb delivers another dramatic story for the caped crusader, with Tim Sale on board providing the pencils. A big influence on 'Batman Begins'. Apparently."
