I am a huge Batman fan. I am also a huge horror fan. With that being said, I loved Kelley Jones’s art in this book. He really brought the Haunted to Gotham. However, the story just wasn’t enough to be compelling or give me a reason to be interested. Bruce is older when his parents ya are killed and presented with his future. Werewolves, Zombies, and a skeleton named Cal were probably the high point of this book.

There's something iffy with the theme, but this is the gritty version of Batman I wanted: scarred and still able to deliver amazing one liners.

Haunted Gotham is a strange book...
I'm used to Bruce Wayne's parents being long dead and Gotham having its share of bad guys, but nothing quiet like this version.
Instead, we have the Bruce's parents very much alive at the start of the book and a Gotham overrun with demons, werewolves, zombies, and all sorts of supernatural beings. It was an interesting concept and something different is always fun, but the story never really won me over.
The book was long, but not interesting enough to justify the length, in my opinion at least. I love zombies and such as much as the next person, but it got a little old and I didn't care much, especially because Batman was a little whiny and unsympathetic.

It's long and kind of all over the place, without ever really offering up depths of Batman. It has moments of being a wild, totally unique look at the Batman existence, but, for the most part, it's just kind of supernatural and silly. Couldn't rock it.

Nice art but I really expect better from Doug Monech. The writing went from bad to... just stupid.

This was just a dumb farce until part way through, but the grauitously porno way Cat Woman is drawn changed my rating from funny and dumb to excrable.
