  Writer John Rogers once said, "You don't really understand an antagonist until you understand why he's a protagonist in his own version of the world." Fridolfs and Nguyen have nailed that philosophy, imbuing these iconic bat-villains with a sense of purpose beyond greed and mischief-making. All of this is wrapped up in Nguyen's delicately rendered, whimsical art. It's as playful and as beautiful as the words it gives life to. The book's text and visuals combine to make this one of the best books in DC's lineup for Bat-fans both young and old. Read Full Review

At the end of the day you can just feel the love seeping out of every corner of this book, and love is something the DCU needs desperately these days. Read Full Review

  More story-driven than ever, this series is starting to find the right balance between cute and consequential. Even if it weren't, the silly gags and Nguyen's irresistibly charming art is worth the price of admission alone. Read Full Review
