It was a treat to step back into the world of Tim Burton's Batman films. This would have been the follow up to Batman Returns, serving as the third movie in the series. 

While I would have loved to see it on screen, a graphic novel version written by the screenwriter of the first two films is great and more than I ever expected. 

A very good, if somewhat brisk read. I would say the only thing holding it back from a 5 star for me is that I would have liked a little more. There were parts that felt very abrupt or that could have been more fleshed out.
