Batman: Haunted Gotham by Doug Moench
3.0
Haunted Gotham is a strange book...
I'm used to Bruce Wayne's parents being long dead and Gotham having its share of bad guys, but nothing quiet like this version.
Instead, we have the Bruce's parents very much alive at the start of the book and a Gotham overrun with demons, werewolves, zombies, and all sorts of supernatural beings. It was an interesting concept and something different is always fun, but the story never really won me over.
The book was long, but not interesting enough to justify the length, in my opinion at least. I love zombies and such as much as the next person, but it got a little old and I didn't care much, especially because Batman was a little whiny and unsympathetic.
