It’s ok, 2.5 at best for me. I just didn’t really find it that memorable at all. The art is ok at best and ugly at worst, it just wasn’t for me I don’t think. I also just found it hard to get through, I kept putting off finishing it because I wasn’t engaged at all with any of the stories. I’m also not a huge fan of how the women were drawn? I know that doesn’t really matter but it put me off

This filled in some gaps between the Arkham video games. However, the story was not the strong suit of these games. Art went weird at times too, especially some of the smaller issues like the Freeze one.

I was annoyed because at the beginning Catwoman's outfit was just ridiculous. The story was ok and this had some great art, but there was just something that wasn't so interesting.

This was one of those that I kept reading because I kept hoping it would get better. I loved the game that it's based on but only one of the stories ever felt interesting, that of the one-armed twins you fight in the game. I liked getting to see their backstory but everything else was just bland. Not terrible but not particularly interesting. And when there are so many great graphic novels about Batman, this just isn't one I'd recommend.

Written as a great tie-in for the videogame, since some of the events in the novel are resolved in the game. I especially liked the reference to the different costumes you can wear in the game.

I received this through a goodreads giveaway. I am not a comic book reader normally, but my husband is and he was excited to see it. The artwork was amazing and each story was interesting. It has made be a comic book fan.

This didn't make any sense and it's simply gross. Not a fan.

Ties in well with the game. The artworks as good as with any main series comic but I didn't think the Penguin's language rang true. It suffers from being written to fit rather than created for its own sake. There's a disjointedness to it.
