“The title story is classic Gaiman, and well worth the read. The rest of the book is pretty average though. ”

“Decent take on how the Batman would go out. The "cycle of life" ending was alright, and I enjoyed the emphasis on Batman's tenacity. However, the graphic novel has some filler material that I didn't think was particularly great.”

“Friends, enemies, and acquaintances gather to remember Batman at his funeral, as the Caped Crusader's spirit watches and wonders what's going on. No two stories are alike, but this is a way of reconciling the Batman stories and legends, and as each person steps up to tell about Batman's demise, the artwork and language take on new life. If you've been following Batman for ages, you'll recognize the storylines and inspirations for these stories.

I thought this was a great "ending" to the Batman story, though if there's anything that this book goes out of its way to say, it's that the Batman legend doesn't end. However, the funeral seems a bit short - I mean, with this cast of characters, Gaiman could've gone on and on, but a few more stories wouldn't have hurt! The three stories included afterward are great, and I particularly enjoyed "A Black and White World," probably because I'm a fan of stories and TV shows that break the fourth wall.”
“Definitely worth reading the main story a few times over and considering how it's structured, what you're getting as the reader, what it all means, and how it fits together in of itself and with Final Crisis and RIP. ”
