Pastors also need a break from heavy theological reading! So here’s a Batman comic book review!

Did you ever watched the Batman Animated Series from the 90s? If so this comic might be for you! This gave me nostalgia reading this volume; fortunately there’s four total volumes and this present volume is 240 pages of fun reading!
This is the first volume and it collects issues #1-10. I enjoyed it. I like how the drawing reflected the 90s cartoon series; that really was the gold standard for Batman. The narrative of this volume is not so much one long plot but a collection of various stories as standalone episodes, kind of like the TV show. To give you the idea the first story featured the Penguin as the villain and the second story has a two part story with Joker and Catwoman. The next story is also two issues long story, and is called “Riot Act” that involves the villain Scare Crow. I actually thought the story and action can be better than some of the modern stories of batman coming out.
My kids love it when I read it with them; and I enjoy it too! It is something fun to read together. I’m grateful they enjoy it and it’s a time to be with my kids for something not serious and entertaining. Overall its clean; or at least its more clean than the typical Comic books today, at least for kids to read. I will be reading more of these volumes in this series; I’m glad there are so many pages in this series!
The Domain for Truth 
Although I know little about these stories, I am amazed at how expressive the art work can be in some of these graphic novels. The bad guy on the cover of this Batman volume is particularly evil looking.
Yeah the artwork is very well done!!! Hope you are Doing well
Cool! Sounds like great fun. Just simple “good guys vs. bad guys” without all of the navel gazing and social agendas. I found out the 2006-2008 LSH animated television series that I will be reviewing shortly likewise had a print comic book tie-in that ran for 20 issues from 2007 to 2009.
Wow and these are not LsH comics you reviewed yet?? Soon your site will be the ultimate place to review LSH comics and episodes
One word that describes it all Pastor Jim, nostalgia. I can hear the original series’ opening theme in my mind. So 90s. Talking about that decade, it seems the first 3 villains (sorry Selena Kyle) in the comics were the first 3 villains in Batman 1 and Batman 2 live movies (Michael Keaton); where this animation was inspired. 90s! Blessings to you, Nancy, and your kids! I wonder how you narrate those stories to your kids, was the voice of Batman like that of the Batman Lego movie?
I have not heard the voice of Batman in Batman lego movie! I have notheard much about lego Batman movie! Thanks for filling me in about that!!!
90s animated Batman rock!
Whoah. Batman!
Yes I needed a mental break lol
I love Batman!!!!
