3.0 out of 5 stars Nice and uncomplicated, not groundbreaking, 1 Jul 2001
By A Customer
This book that collects the first 6 issues of the 'Batman Adventures' series is like I said in the title of this review a very nice read, without it having a major influence on the history of the Batman character. Self-contained stories that aren't hard to keep up with, an 'easy-read' if you will. But don't think that what I'm saying here is a negative thing because you'll get your money's worth. The first three issues are a window-tale. Two issues that seem to be oneshots untill they're being linked and exposed to be just a part of the whole in the third issue, which finishes the arc. Characters involved in this story are the Penguin, Catwoman and the Joker. Issues 4 and 5 are together one story which is the best in the book for me personally. This story features the Scarecrow, who seems to have found the perfect crime, and Robin (Dick Grayson) is in it too. The final issue of the book is an issue without a villain out of Batman's natural 'Rogues Gallery', but a down-to-earth detective story instead. In it Bruce is found over a murdered body in a room with only one door and loads of people on the other side of the door. Naturally Bruce is accused of murder and what follows is Bruce, with the aid of Dick, trying to figure out a way to prove his innocence from within his jail-cel.

If you're looking for spectacular detailed art that jumps of the pages this is not for you. In that case you would do well to get "The Killing Joke" (drawn by Brian Bolland) or "Batman: Venom" (drawn by Russel Braun). The art is cartoonish, which is pretty natural since it's a cartoon-made-into-comic, sufficient and clear to tell the stories, nothing more. If you need a real good detective story go get "Batman: Gothic" (Grant Morisson) or even better, "Long Halloween" (Jeph Loeb). If you're in it for the stories just to have a good time for a while and don't neccesarilly need every story to be deep and complicated you can have some fun with it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Suitable for children and OK for adults, 8 Jan 2000
By Hampus Eckerman (Sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This album features the first 5 issues of the Batman Adventures comic book. It is based on the cartoon TV-series, not on the ordinary Batman-books.

The style of drawing is the same as in the TV-series, although some of the darkness and dramatic angles doesn't adapt to their new enviroment. Still, they do work with their clean style. These first issues features The Joker, The Penguin, Catwoman and an whosdunnit-story.

Of course, the this album is made for children and aren't ass deep and dark as the ordinary albums, still it is OK for adults too, the stories has some points for every agegroup. Still, if you haven't got any children (small one that is), I would recommend some of the other albums, such as The Killing Joke, The Dark Knight Returns, etc.
