4.0 out of 5 stars The lighter side of Morisson, 1 Jul 2001
By A Customer
I personally consider the earlier stories in the "Legends of the Dark Knight" ongoing series the better ones, and this one (which collects #6-10) is no exception. Bruce Wayne is being plagued by a lot of nightmares about when he was a young boy lately. Each night he wakes up from a nightmare about his father to which he can relate no meaning. Meanwhile a man who calls himself 'Mr.Whisper', a man with no shadow, is rapidly killing off underworld members in brutal ways. The crime-leaders are heavily frightened and ask Batman for help, trying to make a deal. Batman refuses and tells them they're getting what they deserve. Back home he puts some things together for himself and realizes there may be a connection between Mr.Whisper and his nightmares. Because of that he decides to do some detective work after all to find out who this Mr.Whisper is. From there on a highly paranormal (which is quite extraordinary for a Batman book, but quite a trademark of Grant Morisson) story unfolds which leads Batman through memories of his days in private school and even to an eerie Austrian monastry, which he learns is the subject of an occult Austrian legend. People who are into listening to scary 'true' stories by the campfire will probably like this a lot. It's like one of those stories you heard of which you just KNEW they weren't real, but gave you the chills anyway. That's also the case here. You go through the story asking yourself if what's going on is the legend being forfilled or if there's a more down-to-earth thing going on. Grant Morisson does what he does best, he's giving clues without giving it away, keeping the reader on his toes. Klaus Jansons art is suitable for the story and especially the way he draws the architectural backgrounds deserve some credit. I don't think many people who are into Batman comics will feel disappointed after reading this.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice rich story, awful graphics, 4 Mar 2005
By H. Dervish "What Culture?" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The story delves a little into the young Waynes public school days and blends in several engaging classic gothic themes. But the art work is very shabby and really gets in the way of fully enjoying the story.
Buy it for the story and definitelynot for the art.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wierd for Batman, mild for Morrison, 18 Jun 2001
By e_cleland@yahoo.com (Newry, N.Ireland) - See all my reviews
Anyone familiar with the work of Grant Morrison will find this a bit on the mild side. The guys a surrealist drug addled genius, and this is one of the few mild stories he has done.

When I say mild, it involves child abuse the undead and cults, so it's not kids stuff, but it is well written. If you like Baatman check it out. If you want a mature mind blowing comic by Morrison , check out the Invisibles.
