A Batman Christmas Carol
Inspired by Charles Dickens’ immortal classic A Christmas Carol, BATMAN: NOEL features different interpretations of The Dark Knight, along with his enemies and allies, in different eras, from writer/artist Lee Bermejo (JOKER).
In this graphic novel, Batman must come to terms with his past, present and future as he battles villains from the campy 1960s to dark and brooding menaces of today, while exploring what it means to be the hero that he is.
An excerpt of Batman: Noel appeared as bonus content in a number of early issues of DC’s New 52 comics, and I was immediately drawn to the artwork (which is absolutely stunning). As soon as the book was available, I picked up a copy, and I’m very glad that I did. This is an innovative, interesting, and above all stunning graphic novel.
