Tales of the Batman: Gerry Conway by Gerry Conway
5.0
In this era of comic book characters being either insultingly centrist or off-puttingly neocon, there's something to Batman fighting for West Virginia coal miner unions and solving a murder mystery wherein communists aren't the villains but rather a justice-seeking party. Sneak 'em in where ya can, Gerry!
It's funny that GRITTY STREET FRENCH CONNECTION Batman still has Alfred make him some nice cocoa when he gets home. This is frankly the perfect combination of Batman elements for me.
The weakest stuff comes in the form of Brave and the Bold, where Batman is just jammed into whatever hero they wanna spotlight and it takes away from at the very least Batman, and maybe the other heroes. I'm not as familiar with Firestorm and Green Lantern, so I can't really speak on those. It almost feels like fictional character Batman is putting in contractually obligated appearances in other titles and just phones it in, but they still end up pleasant and brisk reads.
Batman's jolly friendship with Superman in World's Finest is amazing stuff, and something I really hope to see on screen someday.
