I'd never read any traditional superhero comics, so this collection of basic Batman stories seemed like a good place to start. I've seen a couple of the movies and they're all very dark and grim, while these comics are pretty much the exact opposite of that. They were all written in the 50s, which is obvious in the delightfully old-fashioned language. The stories are all quite... childish, in my opinion. Batman always wins in the end, nobody ever gets killed or seriously injured, the villains use the most ridiculous ploys, there are no twists or surprises, ... But despite that, or maybe because of that, I really liked them.
