| The trend in
superheroes of the late 1980s was dark, grim, gritty, and not very kid
friendly. Then along came the animated BATMAN series. The visual
style was totally unique: clean, sharp, and bold. BATMAN ADVENTURES:
MAD LOVE is an original comics story drawn in the style of the popular
animated series. It's written and drawn by Paul Dini and Bruce
Timm, the major forces behind the animated show. |

|
|
| This particular
story involves
Batman's old foe, the Joker, and Joker's
cute but deadly sidekick, Harley Quinn. Actor Mark Hamill
of Star Wars fame, who plays the voice of the Joker
in the animated series, claims that this is one of his all-time favorite
comics, calling it "bold, lusty, gleefully demented." |

| Three years
after the final five episodes of THE NEW ADVENTURES OF BATMAN AND ROBIN
aired, a new Batman series came about as part of the NEW BATMAN/SUPERMAN
ADVENTURES, but a lot was missing from the story of the new animated series
which is told in THE LOST YEARS. |

|
|
| This collection
solves the mystery of the disolving of Batman and the original Robin's
(Dick Grayson) partnership, as well as how the partnership formed between
Batman and Batgirl and how she got access to the Batcave. This book prints
the story of the years that Dick Grayson spent away from Gothom City, of
his worldwide journeys, and how he found his identity as Nightwing. This
also retells the orgin of the new Robin (Tim Drake). Villans such as the
Joker, Two-Face, and Ra's Al Guhl make appearences. There is additional
material to the parts that are adapted from animation and most of the material
of THE LOST YEARS is new and should be enjoyed by fans of the KID'S WB
cartoon. |

| Batman Beyond
("the future of crime-fighting!") got an excellent kickoff in the first
few issues of DC's comic series starting in November of 1999. But before
those comics appeared, DC issued a "miniseries" with six issues published
separately from March to August of the same year, and now collected in
this trade paperback. Beginning as a comic-book adaptation of the TV pilot
(along with a nifty introduction that tells what happened between the BATMAN
ADVENTURES and BATMAN: BEYOND), the series makes a great companion to the
cartoon series. |
