Reviews
Cool origin story, but the listing is misleading...
5By KatanaVxAs I have emphasized throughout the whole "New 52" series (with 5-star ratings), each volume/individual bring in more intrigue and excitement than the previous one. This 4th Batman volume is no exception, providing a fresh new take on Batman's archvillian's (the Joker) origin. Now I could continue to mention how great everything is, but just buy the darn thing already! One thing I do have to point out is that the listing said this 4th volume includes Batman's #21-24 (which are included) as well as Batman #0 and Batman's Annual #2. What is wrong about the listing is the mention of the latter two, which are not actually included within the volume. Don't know who wrote they were, but the listing should be updated to correctly show the actual content of the volume.
