As anyone knows I have a weakness for Batman in B:TAS style, which is really what all this is based around (though does have a story with Batman Beyond at the end I LOVED), so it should really come as no surprise I enjoyed this collection. Even though it features Two-Face and Poison Ivy on the cover neither are involved in the stories (well, okay Harvey Dent is in one yet I consider him and Two-Face two different characters even if they are the same person).
For someone who was introduced to Batman through the the animated series it brought back nice memories of my childhood watching the show. Honestly my favorite line was from Batman himself when he stated, "Don't point guns at me. I don't like it." Yes, it is a VERY norm piece of it, yet with the [i]darker[/i] versions of this character coming out it was nice to see a Bruce Wayne who tried to avoid conflict and showed his disdain for the use of guns.
My favorite piece in this is based on Edward "Eddie" Nygma//The Riddler because of how it showed even money does not mean happiness and everyone needs a purpose.

This is a quick fun read. The stories lack the darkness and complexity that is typical of many modern Batman stories. As such this book is accessible and appropriate for younger readers from mid grade school on up as well as adults.
The stories in this book are set in the D.C. Animated Universe (DCAU). As such anyone who is familiar with the various DCAU series will find the artwork and storylines familiar.

I came in expecting classi 90s Batman and instead ended up with new outfits for the villains (Catwoman? More like Ratwoman) and the last chapter is Batman Beyond. No wonder I found this at Five Below.

Overall, a good collection
There's a couple reprints in here from Batman Adventures (which I already own), but the three others were new to me and very good. I love pretty much everything that's in the styles of Batman the Animated Series, which most of this book was. The one story in the style of The Batman was interesting, and I might hunt down more of them at some point. The Batman Beyond story at the end was also very good; Spellbinder is one of my favorite villains from that series and it was cool to see him in print (Bruce back in the batsuit, if only for a few pages). Overall, this was good collection, and it is one that I would recommend or gift to others over a wide age range.

I wouldn't say these were his greatest adventures. Kinda randon even. They're stories based on the cartoons, mostly Batman: the animated series' world but also has story from The Batman which just seems real random. I would definitely have went for the story where Batman is abducted by a UFO which is not included in this book.
