[Rob Vitagliano · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is another short but action packed and to the point Batman prose novel. I'm not sure what the target audience for this one is, because it is quite short, and does have a few neat illustrations by Arthur Suydam, but the subject matter is pretty dark, so I can't imagine it being geared towards young readers. It has an abrupt ending that may be considered open ended, but I've decided to take it a certain way that leads to the redemption of one of the characters, but that may just be the biblical reading I've partaken of lately talking.

A really cool, dark, interesting story about the Caped Crusader that is just written in the oddest style, like Christopher Nolan's Batman, written by Adam West's writers. A book for young people that doesn't really fit that shade.

Such a bizarre story to release as a youth novel, but it was fascinating to read in junior high.
