I read 2 the first 2 stories in this collection and gave up. They're the campy 60s stories that amuse me, but for the wrong reasons. I need some more thought to my deus ex machina than "Psych, didn't actually die!" Gardner Fox's little author interlude was clever, but not quite good enough to make me want to read on.It's an interesting idea, which is why I picked it up, but I want more from my comics.
Many different stories from the various eras of Batman's history involve his supposed death. Like any collected edition the stories are hit and miss but the good overshadow the bad here. One of my favorites here comes from the Brave and the Bold issue 115. Its a story that involves a teamup with the Atom and is a very odd but fun story. In the end this is a fun,quick read and worth picking up for fans of Batman.
The mini series with criminals on trial for the death of Batman makes this compilation worth the read.
This a collection of tales, real or imagined that feature Batman dying (or nearly so) which was a ton of fun.

Hot on the heels of the Batman RIP story, DC comics decided to gather a few classic stories of Batman's many demises in graphic novel form.

The 1966 story comes from Gardner Fox, who writes himself into a story about dreaming up an alternate outcome for the Dynamic Duo's clash with rubbery villain the Bouncer. Cary Bates has his 1969 story focusing on a grown Robin teaming with Supe...
good
If you enjoy the more classic Batman style you might like this.
Fun compilation of "What If Batman Was Dead?" stories that is never too dark and often silly. It does lend more credence to the case of Jim Aparo being one of the best Batman artists ever when looked at in comparison to others.
This is a great book for someone with very little background on Batman. Batman dies in each issue in the book and these span through times. Some are cheesy some funny and some downright sad. This was very interesting and now I would like to read more. Teen +
