Batman has died, but how is the question. As Batman watches from teh beyond, all of Batmans' closest friends and enemies gather around tot hell their opinion on how the Dark Knight met his fate. Was Alfred the JOker the whole time and killed him on accident, or did Catwoman bdtray him? These are some of the few thoughts Neil Gaiman puts in the reader's mind. The best part of what Gaiman does is that he makes the story feel like an unpredictable tale fo greatness. Everything is unpredictable: Gaiman adds his magical touch to make the story coherent and full of surprises. Comic book writing and characterization is at its best, and this book might even be one of the best two issue comic stories in history.
Neil Gaiman has given us many great stories throughout his career, such as Sandman, Coraline, and The Graveyard Book, to name a few. He uses his unique eye of perception for suspense and horror to write some of the greatest modern day books. Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader is a great addition to the Batman library, and is surely a great read for teenages, Batman fans, and newcomers to reading alike. So don't just sit there, check it out from the library!
