About this ebook

#1 New York Times Bestseller Inspired by Charles Dickens' immortal classic A Christmas Carol, BATMAN: NOEL features different interpretations of the Dark Knight, along with his enemies and allies, in different eras. Along the way, Batman must come to terms with his past, present and future as he battles villains from the campy 1960s to dark and brooding menaces of today, while exploring what it means to be the hero that he is. Members of Batman's supporting cast enact roles analogous to those from A Christmas Carol, with Robin, Catwoman, Superman, The Joker and more playing roles that will be familiar to anyone who knows Dickens' original holiday tale.

Ratings and reviews

It was a good read and the art was fantastic. My only problem is not the problem with the book but rather the pricing since I think it should have been around the £9 mark for what it is. Not that I'm tight mind you, but at the price of it, I would have expected a bit more content.

It's a different take from one of the classical tale of Charles Dickens that most of us knew, with Batman atmospheric twist. A huge thanks to Barbara Ciardo, Lee Bermejo and Todd Klein. This is definitely one of the masterpiece that's worth to collect.

The greatest Christmas Story I have read so far!!!
