Batman: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?
by Neil Gaiman
I first stumbled upon this book when I was going through some serious issues. My life felt like it was falling apart and this book helped me through it.
The story centers around Batman's funeral. Not Bruce Wayne's funeral, but Batman's. The characters, allies, enemies and everything in between, arrival and each tell the story of Batman's death. Each one is different, and drawn in a different style and to match it the Batman in the coffin is drawn differently also. Some closer to the Golden Age Batman, with point ears, some closer to the Animated series Batman, others drawn in a 1960s/Adam West styled Batman. In each story he dies, and his final actions and words are presented in such a way to sum up that Batman.
I won't tell you how it ends but Neil Gaiman doesn't redefine the caped crusader but helps to find the truth in the character shared by so many across decades. I really loved this comic.
