A Review
The
world knows the early history of Batman, the man whose parents died
one evening when out for dinner. Bruce Wayne would be raised by the
families faithful butler, Alfred. What most of us do not know (this
reader at least did not) is the early history of Alfred Pennyworth
and his connection to British Intelligence. This edition of All-Star
Batman provides some of that backstory.
The
story moves back and forth between flashbacks and current history,
occasionally making the story difficult to follow. But even with that
small flaw, the story is fun and kept this Sexagenarian's
interest. The artwork (both
for images displaying the past and that displaying the present)
appears to show a somewhat aged set of characters. I might expect the
modern set of characters to show aging - but it was disappointing to
see some of that same aging to appear on the historical Batman et al.
I
expect those who are fans of DC Comics or Batman, whether earlier
generations of the story or of the current generation will find the
story and book of interest. I know I did.
