    Batman #700 (giant sized anniversary edition) is a magnificent comic.
    it spans many eras of Batman's history, past present and future.
    it even has nods to Batman One Million from Morrison's JLA run.
    a copy of Batman #700 could cost as much or more that what this trade costs,
    so it's definitely worth the money.
    plus with beautiful art by Tony Daniel, Frank Quitely, Andy Kubert, and David Finch
    it's definitely worth it.

    Batman issues #701 & #702 contain the Lost Chapters of Batman RIP.
    these are definitely worth the purchase and read, as they clear up some of the confusion
    for what happens in-between Batman RIP and Final Crisis.
    there are wonderful character moments between Bruce & Alfred,
    and Tony Daniel's art is Top notch here.

    i'd love to give this collection a "9.5" or a "9".
    but the inclusion of Batman issue #703 being clumsily tossed in here brings the score down.
    whenever i read this volume i never bother to read #703. reading the single issue when it was in my pull-list was more than enough. and all that issue is, is a set up for 'Batman The Road Home' which in itself was a superfluous unnecessary cash-grab by DC just tacking on as many add-ons to 'The Return of Bruce Wayne' event.
    if something in the even wasn't written by Morrison then don't bother.
