"Neat collection that (is planned) to have every Batman story in chronological order. This volume starts with a bunch of Detective Comics and ends with Batman #1. The artwork is somewhat crude but still fairly effective. When robin shows up the mood of the book changes drastically, transforming into a goofier Batman more akin to the television show. It would be many years before Batman went back to the darker early stories. Recommended for superhero or pulp fiction fans, and especially for Batman fans."
"Very interesting to see the different expectations that 30's audiences placed on the comic book story. By today's standards these stories are weak, expositional and not especially well drawn, by 1930's standards they were probably daring and fresh. Ho-hum. Hard to see why the series lasted so long actually with these conservative beginnings."
"Reprints Detective Comics #27-38 and Batman #1. Batman starts his attack on crime, encounters the Joker, and adopts Robin as a sidekick. The stories in this collection are a great way to see how much the character has changed. The old Batman was willing to use a gun if necessary, relied heavily on fear, and often ended up with a dead villain on his hands by the end of the story. The style of the story is very indicative of most Golden Age comics. They are short, choppy, and the art is very minimal. It reads like a Dick Tracy or a Spirit comic but begins to show growth by the end of the collection."
