A review by abigcoffeedragon
Batman: Dead White by John Shirley

1.0

This is not my Batman. I do not need a novel written with a boat load of profanity to make it sound dark and tough. This is a 2006 novel, and it comes across as someone who wrote a novel, wasn't good enough for regular publication, got authorized to write a Batman book, decided to take out this trunk novel, and add the Batman. Nothing against the author, per say, but this is not the way that a Batman novel should be verbalized. If I wouldn't let my kids say the words, then it should not be here. Every standard american vulgarity is in the first chapter, minus the sexual ones, and those are probably later in this book. This is a 100% no for me, as a true, died in the wool, Batman fan.
