gothicteletubby's review
3.5
Most of this rating is towards the second story Sleeping, the viking story was such a bore and would give it 2 stars, if that. Sleeping was so much more interesting, and I enjoy the characters a lot more. The idea of twin souls and seeing what could've been while trying to come out of a coma was striking and different than what we usually get for a Batman story.

I'm giving this a reluctant 5/5 because of the story The Sleeping. It's not often we get true metaphysical stories for Batman. Usually it's given a scientific excuse through strange chemicals and drugs, here it's purely up for interpretation though. Like a dream is.
Really beautiful work in text and image by Scott Hampton. Strange especially given just how much of a slog I found the first story in this collection, Destiny.

jmanchester0's review against another edition
4.0
I love stories of alternate realities. Here are a couple from The Legends of the Dark Knight monthly series that was popular in the 90s.
While both start in this world, each branches off with tales that exist in other realities.
Destiny explores the idea of a Viking Batman. I used to have this action figure! An interesting, but not quite satisfying story.
The Sleeping shows where Batman's mind goes while he's in a coma. I thought this was much more interesting.
