Another of DC's periodic black and white Batman anthologies, featuring short stories by creators from Neal Adams to Marv Wolfman. They vary in quality, of course, with Adams' contribution being particularly strange as a zombie Batman shambles around, powerless to stop real-world problems. What a commentary! It's probably one of the best in the set.Others I enjoyed included Rafael Albuquerque's story of Batman's fears, with a nice cameo by Deadman, the Allred's story of the Penguin manipulating a...

A mix of short Batman stories by different artists and authors in their own different style. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy these stories as much, as I much prefer the longer, mystery oriented Batman stories. Further, some of the Batman stories seemed inconsistent to character, for example when Batman lets Manbat kill a criminal. A real mixed bag here.

Oh boy I can't keep any of these straight anymore. They all had one or two pretty good stories and then a number of fair stories. What's interesting is how many of them focus on Scarecrow and how few focus on the Joker. Also, few Robins.

These are fun collections because you get to see a variety of artists and writers all writing an interesting anthology series centered around Batman. Batman lends himself to many styles in terms of tone, story and art so it is the perfect character to use. I can't say any ONE story stood out but this is a case where the whole was much greater than the sum. I loved being introduced to new artists I had never seen before and watching different writers come up with their "take" on the dark Knight.

Batman Black and White can be broken up into three sections: the first miniseries, the series that ran as a backup story in issues of Gotham Knights, and the second miniseries, all collected across four volumes. While this volume just collects the second miniseries I'll be reviewing it more as a whole throughout all installments.I really liked it, obviously as an anthology series it has ups and downs but overall I think it's magnificent. A lot of the times the stories are deeper and practically

Probably the most consistent volume of the B&W series, with some real top-shelf talent on board.

Make ->x<- amount of cuts and you have ***** EASILY. It's even masterpiece shelf worthy if you make a few more.With a savory international roster:->Brazil->Canada->England x2->France->Italy->Japan->Philippines->Spain x3That's how you reach higher, gain acclaim and most importantly (for capes & tights)-> keep it fresh!

Lots of short Batman stories told by many different writers and authors, but all in only black and white. Tone inconsistent: Some cartoonish, some flat, some good, some excellent. “She lies at mid nite” and “I killed the bat” were highlights with big powerful twists.

Many great stories. Love the varying styles.

This was an interesting buy for me. It is a black and white anthology of short batman tales by a variety of writers and artists. As with any such endeavor the overall feeling is a sum of all the parts. Considering everything it comes in at a solid 4/5. It's not perfect since A few of the stories (but really only 2 or so) fell flat. It was an overly humorous, cheesy (think Adam West Batman) art style compounded by a weak story. The rest of the stories range from very good to amazing. The artwork

Im afraid this volume shows the Batman Black And White Series have jumped the shark. This was just disappointing. There were a few highlights. Neal Adams story had good art, but it was basically a social commentary. (Probably my two favorite comic artists of all time are Berni Wrightson and Neal Adams.) I liked the JG Jones art in his piece, but the story was a bit too dark. Micheal Uslan and Dave Bullock had a good story that was set up like an old time silent movie. Lee Berjemo had a good stor...

As with any anthology, there are hits and misses, which brings everything to an even middle. Some of the artists don't seem to be very familiar with working in the black-and-white realm, which makes the art confusing at times, since colour isn't present to give more clarity to their storytelling.

After four volumes, the gimmick is pretty well played out.

The whole concept behind Batman Black & White began in the mid-1990s when DC asked several artists and writers to collaborate on stand alone stories featuring the Caped Crusader - using only black and white of course. Since it sold better than expected, a second and third series would soon follow. Lying dormant since 2007, DC resurrected the series for a fourth volume with the trade paperback hitting comic shop shelves this past January.Before writing this review, I went back and read my thought...

The black and white Batman short story anthology, imaginatively titled Batman: Black and White, returns for a fourth volume. Like the other three books, Black and White’s stories are very uneven with some standouts out of many duds but as is also the case with this series, the art is by far the selling point of these books. The most memorable story here is Neal Adams’ “Batman Zombie” where a zombie Batman shuffles through Gotham witnessing the effects of a recession on ordinary men and women. He...

It was a fun collection to read and with some of the artists you could see how much detail they put into it because it had no color. I liked that the stories were short but I wished some of the stories could of been longer because they had a great concept. I will definitely go back and read the other volumes!

Batman: Black and White, Vol. 4 is a Batman anthology featuring black-and-white Batman short stories. Written and illustrated by various writers and pencilers, Batman: Black and White, Vol. 4 is an anthology of thirty short stories compiled in six issues of five stories. This trade paperback collects all six issues from the 2013–2014 series.For the most part, I really like most of these entries – the black and white gave the dark noir feeling that this anthology was trying to capture. Like most

sad to be the last , overall they are all great !!!

Another collection of short black and white Batman stories by a ton of creators, not always associated with Batman or DC. While some are interesting, most seem like fillers. That's the crux of a book like this. No matter how much I enjoyed a story I don't know if any of these tales will stick with me. The creators here are all talented but I wished they had more room to work. Overall, a solid idea without enough meat.

All I can think is about ''She lies at midnite'' I'm angry, I cannot remember the last time I was this angry. All I can think about it's about the beautiful Selina. Beautiful fascinating Selina Kyle. Catwoman Adam Hughes DID A FUCKING GOOD WORK THERE. I read a review and I'm going to quote this because this is exactly what I was thinking while reading this. ''He nails the characterization of Catwoman absolutely. You know the key to knowing when Catwoman has been written well? You ask...
