    The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally Jul 12, 2022

    The story was decent in its narration, but it was not particularly engaging and probably too short to be as interesting as its premise. The art was good, but everything about the short felt unfinished. Read Full Review

    Batman: Urban Legends #17 felt like a collection of Brave and the Bold stories of old, with unlikely team-ups and unusual stories for fans of all types. I can't wait to see how the next issue goes and who's going to feature! Read Full Review

    I've already said it in this interview, but this issue is my favorite so far. Go buy it. Extra Extra credit for being comprised exclusively of one-off stories that don't feel like backdoor pilots for anything. Just good, solid content. Read Full Review

    The Batman Universe - Daniel Goldberg Jul 13, 2022

    Although the stories here are of uneven quality, I much prefer the one-shot format of the present issue. Here, the theme of Batman-DC Hero team-ups is effective and picks up a book that has been struggling. Read Full Review
