2 out of the 3 stories were great. I loved Clayface. He has always been one of my favorites. Voiceless was pretty awesome too. The Man-Bat story started off well, but fizzled.

Hulk-boy has bumped his head on this one. He told me to read it so that I would show some Batman loving.
In the first part of this volume we learn the dark history of Clayface. Poor Clayface. He just got tired of everyone ignoring him. He wanted to be an actor but was that guy this wasn't handsome. Was not quirky. Just kinda bland. So when old Penguin face offers him a chance to change that fact about himself he jumps on it.
Penguin gives him some weirdo clay that gets absorbed into his system and changes him. Now he is the man! While it lasts. Should have known better than to trust Penguin. Does he not READ Batman? Duh.
So he ends up morphing into the evil guy Clayface and we have another baddie for Bats to chase. Woot!
There are a couple of other parts to this volume but I kinda failed at them. Borrringgg.. Give me some killing and sex. Not Man-Bat. Did not like this part.

Barely half is about clay face, then some weird silent story featuring penguin and a pretty dismal manbat one to pad the book out.

The main Clayface story wasn’t anything special, but the Maleev art was incredible. The two silent issues were fantastic, and I enjoyed the Manbat story. Overall a solid collection.

I like Clayface a lot but I'm so sick of Man-Bat (or ... Men-Bats?) This series got cancelled and I can see why. I suppose it's at least good that they finished this storyline so you're not left hanging though.

I actually really liked the Clayface story. Giving him depth like that made for a different kind of story. It was a nice change the of pace. The wordless holiday tale was also pretty solid. The Man-Bat finale felt pretty lame in comparison.

I love this series. The art is a bit different and I loved it. There was more humor in this than in a lot of Batman graphic novels. Clayface's backstory is interesting. Man-bat, who has always been a bit of a doofus bad guy for me was actually okay in this as well.
