This story is alright if you read it. It's nothing special, but there are certainly worse books based on Batman out there. However, if you get the audio book version from Graphic Audio this instantly turns into something special.Not just an audio book, Graphic Audio turned this into more of a radio play. There were a full voice cast, sound effects, music, the whole nine. I've been a fan of radio dramas for a while, and this certainly scratched that itch. The voice talent ranged from good to awfu...
This is one of the J.L.A. prose novels that Pocket published a couple of decades ago in which a different member was featured in each volume. This is the Batman book, and is a good, if rather grim, Batman story. He's the only member of the League without super-powers, and should logically therefore be the weakest link, but he's the only effective member (other than Jonn) in this book. Alan Grant wrote many good Batman comics scripts back in the day, and he understood the character quite well. Go...
Poorly written, overblown, cliché ridden novel of Batman and the JLA taking on an ancient evil hidden in a pyramid under Gotham City bent on destroying the world. Only the fact that I am a sucker for this kind of slam-bang caped action crap keeps me from just saying that is was junk, but I have to admit I had a good time.
I read a lot of DC/MARVEL prose novels. Not all are good. Many authors don’t take time to really understand the history behind the individual character. I think this is one of the nest. If you are looking for GREAT literature, this genre is probably not for you. If you are looking for something with imagination, thrills & SUPER Heroes who care to the point of sacrifice, then give this a try. There are other great prose novels out there.
It's been nearly 2 months since I listened to this, so I absolutely do not remember the details (also listened to like 4 other DC graphic audios, so they've blurred a bit).I do remember enjoying it.The performance was well done.The story was alright.All in all, I enjoyed it.
Eh. Didn't really like this one...not a long enough book to develop characters.
I think it’s extremely hard to move a story which would work fine (ok the book’s plot would not be great even in comics but still) in comics into book format. It was readable.
Loved it
Alright, I have a weakness.That weakness is for cheesy audio drama.This is a cheesy audio drama.Batman I would say is not a complete stranger to supernatural goings on in his little corner of the world known as Gotham. That said I didn't expect a story so devoted to supernatural happenings and explaining their legitimacy in the ancient world as much as this one. Batman is a guy who deals with a lot of criminal madmen who's most supernatural trait is their devotion to comitting their particular c...
How would you like to delve into the psyche of The Dark Knight? Ever wonder just how prepared Batman truly is? Ever wonder how much the human brain can retain, and to what ends will someone with just the right amount of drive can accomplish in ANY given circumstances? Want to know the WHY Batman is the ultimate tactician amongst the Justice League, and why a mere mortal with no 'Superpowers' is renowned throughout the DC Universe? THEN READ THIS! I read this years ago while I was still in the Na...
I like Batman and I like archaeology, so I thought this would be a good mix. Turns out, not so much.It's subtitled with the Justice League of America, but the other members don't play much of a part in the story, being either trapped or absent for most of the story.The villain is a standard one note fellow, wanting to cleanse the world because people are scum, blah blah blah.The audiobook included the word "dervish"(as in "whirling dervish") more than once as a simile. The first time was clever....
I'm currently listening to the six GraphicAudio JLA books, starting with this one.This book had a lot of annoying background music that just didn't seem apt for most of the scenes. A lot seemed adrenaline fueled, which wasn't really needed for the filler scenes, just the action packed ones.There wasn't a lot of focus on Batman, and hardly any on Bruce Wayne. These are short books, and the GA makes them a fun listen. However they're not that great, and definitely not worth a re-listen.
Absolutely incredible. Batman has always been one of my favorite character in the DC comic, and this graphic audio book further cemented my love for the 'Caped Crusader' . The story line was very entertaining. Loved it.
Meh, I prefer Batman stories that are smaller scale, Gotham-centric criminal schemes to 'supervillain destroying the world' plots. Plus, the villain (a reincarnated mesoamerican shaman who draws power from ley lines and other new age pseudoscience) was kinda lame.
This book demonstrates how Batman can hold his own amongst the other senior members of the Justice League. There is a big focus on Earth magic and psychic powers. The GraphicAudio version is very well produced and fun.
Meh. This was fine. This whole series of books is an interesting concept, but the execution is severely lacking. There was nothing inherently wrong with this book, it just wasn't a great story and I found it mostly forgettable.
I liked the vocal performances and music in this. Having Batman and the Justice League deal with the supernatural over the course of a month held my interest well enough.
One of only two Batman prose works that I've read. A fairly decent and entertaining story.
3.5 Stars.
It was interesting. No surprise ending though, because of course, Super Heroes are going to save the day.
