The villains of Batman compared to the villains of Superman Are like Gods compared to mere humans.
I am in love with each and everyone of them and i want to read more more and more.
I will be starting to read Batman from the very beginning as soon as i can
I promise you that the stories that might come out of this are not to be missed.

Fun, fun, fun! Five stories - introduced by the Joker Tales-From-the-Crypt style, each one focusing on one of Gotham's most heinous baddies. Looking forward to reading volume 2 next.

An uneven collection of Joker stories that are full of the same tired storylines we've heard dozens of times before. The art is decent and varied, but it's just not that memorable.

Mixed bag anthology starring Batman's Rogues Gallery.

The Penguin, Joker, Poison Ivy, and Clayface had the best stories. I was especially impressed by the game show nightmare tale "The Joker's Mild" and the great Clayface cult story "Mudnight Madness", the latter featuring some gorgeous gothic artwork by comic king Kelley Jones.

Oooh, this is a fun one. Creepshow or Tales from the Crypt concept meets the Batman world, the mien of which lends itself well to anthology horror. Joker is the Cryptkeeper guiding us through five stories featuring five notorious Batman villains (Joker, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, and Two-Face). These stories are nasty and not about Batman saving the day. Each story is done by a different artist and different writer in a different style, and I just loved it. More, now, again.
