Title: Outstanding Run!
Product review: This was for me the quintessential Batman comics experience. I had forgotten until I read this book how much I enjoy the editorial additions to the prose, i.e. "Turkeys? No, no turkeys in this issue--but there's another sort of jailbird waiting in the wings." Also, the cartoony thought bubbles that aren't used in comics anymore to depict what's on a characters mind, i.e. "I wish Silver would answer the phone when I call! She's been gone all day!" Those old school comic tools are abundant in this reading. But much more than that makes this a great book. Guest stars abound as Dick Grayson returns from college to help Batman, Silver St. Cloud makes her first appearance (I think) as the second love of Batman's life. Penguin, Joker, Deadshot, Hugo Strange and others make this a wonderful story. I was sad when it was over. Maybe DC will publish more runs from this era.
