Hello, everyone.

I have a couple of questions regarding this book...
1. How good is it?
2. How does it measure up to other Batman books, particularly those by Frank Miller, such as Batman: The Dark Knight Returns?
3. Does it directly (or in any way at all) tie into Batman: The Dark Knight Returns?

Can't make any comparisons to The Dark Knight Returns, since I haven't read either book, but it can't be any worse than All-Star Batman and Robin.

Yes, that's also a Frank Miller Batman book, and it's absolute dogshit.

It's part of the same Universe. Because Frank Miller is apparently that damn special.

Also: I love ASB&R. But I take it as a light-hearted piss take of Batman.

Batman: Year One is pretty damn great. In fact, it inspired a good deal of Batman Begins.

I too enjoyed All-Star Batman.

I know some people who like Batman more than the next guy.

ASBAR is considered the greatest parody of Batman ever written.

Well, just shy of the 2-week (14-day) limit, so I'll just say this...

I had read it a week or so ago, and I enjoyed it. I don't know if I'll get my own copy, but I definitely enjoyed it.
