A masterpiece of comic story telling. Gaiman gets the writing credit, but the art is wonderful.

Not bad, not great. Probably suffers because I went into it automatically comparing it to Alan Moore's "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" which has been one of my favourite Superman stories since I was a kid, and I suppose that wasn't really fair of me to do, but with the similarity of the titles and the fact that Moore and Gaiman are among my favourite authors, I suppose it couldn't be helped.

Also, the backup stories were fun, though kind of forgettable, but nice that they were included so we can get a bunch of Gaiman's Batman work out of the way in one very slim edition.

An edited review of this book will come sooner or later, this last one was pretty bad.
