As some of you have learned about me, I am a “little“ obsessed with Batman...😂, I know, more like a little, overly, obsessed with Batman.
And this remains my absolute favorite story about my favorite superhero.
The first “reread“ of a book without a single, pretty illustration 🤔, and I loved just the same as I had the first time reading this book. 👇

Bruce Wayne: “I thought I could help Gotham, but I've failed.“
Alfred Pennyworth: “And why do we fall, sir? So that we might better learn to pick ourselves up.“
pickThe spontaneous marathon is complete! Just got a good momentum, and realized I really wanted to know how everything ended. The answer is: the only way it could. After everything that's happened, all the loss and mistakes, tying off some loose ends means acknowledging things won't ever be the way they were. 1/?
so-soWow, that went by really fast. Definitely has its share of dark moments, seemed to be almost entirely fight scenes and planning to fight scenes. Highlights were Hal Jordan's hallucinated 'Jiminy Cricket', and Javelin joy ride complete with alarm saga. ⚠️Animal death
“Starro the Conqueror.“
You named the evil galaxy-eating space star fish STARRO? You felt it necessary to CREATE an evil galaxy-eating space star fish? I- you know what, why not?!🤷🏼♂️
pickEeeee! I love 💕 where this volume ended, kind of feels like one nemesis down, one to go, but that's really last on my list of reasons why I love it. Everybody helping out, and the relationship confirmation- the hand placement?! 👀. Just squeeing with joy over here, which is exactly what I want from this series. ☺️
Babs + Bitewing + Grayson = Best. Team. Ever.
pickA few classic storylines from O'Neil and Adams featuring Ra's Al Ghul. A mixed bag, but a solid collection.
pickI needed that. This series continues to have a lightness and sincerity I wish I saw in more modern superhero stories.
The emphasis in this volume on the importance of support groups, that there are people you can rely on who are happy to help you, was particularly touching. 1/2
Have I mentioned lately how much I love this series? I also love that DC and the fandom have all just collectively gotten together on the idea that everyone acknowledges Dick Grayson/Nightwing is a babe. 😉
An origin story that perfectly wraps the beginnings of Bruce Wayne's character and his making of Batman.
Wish I had kept a book journal when I was younger...read how my younger self felt about some of my gold star reads. I've only devotedly began one since becoming a Litten 😉👍.
This one keeps all of the Gold 🤩 Stars I originally gave. Excellent!
