Collects BATMAN #609-619 in black and white.

Ratings and reviews

I was more than excited by this premise. I've written a few graphic novels and this really helped me appreciate Jim's skill in a new light. I have Unwrapped HC, and this is exactly the same, but with a greater contrast between light and shadow. It reminded me of Frank Miller's fantastic adaptations and I really cannot recommend it enough.

Fresh incorporation of Batman's rogue gallery. Great characterization of Batman. Ending just left me a little blah.

Score one masterpiece for Jim Lee, hopefully he won't become ah other burnt out looser like that frank miller !!!!
