lindakat's review against another edition
4.0
5 *'s for graphic design
4*'s for the way the story is written - I love how reminiscent it is of Adam West's Batman
3*'s for the actual story - The first one was fantastic but the others weren't anywhere near as good. Like the one with Bruce taking on a new ward, all those super villains and it took a kid to work out Batman's true identity (right) and the last one was just War propaganda. So 4* overall.

Batman by Neal Adams is really something to read. The stories are defiantly so very nice to look at past a few issues. But they are definitely from the age they were written in, excuse certain parts of issues where they use the visual imagery.
But in that period comics still overexplained themselves over and over again and it’s exhausting sometimes really.
Yet, I love comic books. I love them so much and there are always good comics being produced you just have to find them. And there is lots of fun to be had here.
It’s all pretty much Brave and The Bold and Worlds Finest. But here’s an issue or two of Detective comics.
I just love when Batman and Superman team up together. It warms my heart. And the issue Batman has with Deadman in here is probably my favorite of the bunch. It feels like it’s from the 70s in both a good and a bad way. I love the look of the comics of those times, but the writing was lacking in that it overexplained and tried to fit too much into one comic as they didn’t give the story enough breathing room.
All that aside if you love Batman like I do and have the acquired taste for fun wacky teamup comics then this is worthy a purchase.
I should also mention that the pages have this amazing half glossy half paper feel that’s amazing.
3 stars but I love it like a 5 Star.

A majority of these issues can be found in the hardcover Brave and the Bold edition (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28814934-batman?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=Q7ZV1x0Fk9&rank=1). It's like DC used the same book with a different cover/title? Bummer because now I own the Brave and the Bold Omnibus plus this trade back issue. Seems financially wasteful. I'm glad I didn't spend $300 on the omnibus edition of this graphic novel at the very least. I love Neal Adams. His art is stunning. If you want a collection of his work, go for it. If you're simply interested in comics in chronological order you won't find it in Batman Neal Adams Omnibus collection.
