Batman: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?
by Mark Buckingham, Andy Kubert, Neil Gaiman, Simon Bisley, Bernie Mireault, Matt Wagner
Neil Gaiman does Batman - perhaps my expectations were a little bit high when it came to this collection. The centrepiece is the title piece - where Batman attends his own funerals and friends and foes alike tell different tales of his life and death. The art is subdued but colourful, fitting for a funerary piece, and while some of the art changes with the tale being told the base, much like the story, stays the same.
The other tales here are interesting a but mostly forgettable. A black and white piece treating Batman and Joker as actors in television show can't help but make the reader smirk while the other stories - a Poison Ivy tale, and a reporter story interlaced with a bizarrely fascinating Riddler story done in older style - aren't quite up to the same caliber.
