Great & Versatile Artwork!
Speaking as an artist, not just a writer and publisher, I can tell that there is some great artwork in this edition. We offer it on our sci-fi network as a sample of great-looking ink styles for comic books and graphic novels, and our members love the fact that they can see such a diversity in one book. As for the stories being good or bad, you know what they say not only in America, "One man's trash is another man's treasure," so it's all personal, guys. I find some of the stories a bit jazzy and punky or even sketchy, but not necessarily bad. All in all, I highly recommend this title to all comic artists who want to study artistic versatility. Godspeed!

Any of the four volumes are top shelf collections of various artist depictions of the greatest comic character ever created
BATMAN IN BLACK AND WHITE! Any of the four volumes are top shelf collections of various artist depictions of the greatest comic character ever created! Mere words will not describe how great this collection is for not just the Bat fan, but for any graphic art fan out there. Beautifully done!

Engaging Short Stories
A lot of short stories that look at Batman in a different way. Very thought out for such short pieces. Volume I is better, so go for that first, but if you want more of the same, this will do nicely.

A mixed bat-bag worth checking out
The main problem with this collection of tales from BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHTS is that many of the artists don't understand that drawing for B&W is different than for color. While these short stories exhibit more storytelling experimentation than most mainstream comics (and the lack of adherence to strict continuity is refreshing), the first two volumes are much better.

If you like comics in general than pick this up each story is different with a different writer and artist really amazing with 2 being the best

Not for me
I understand the appeal but this collection was just too meaningless and brief for me to enjoy. Talented creators telling 8 page stories that had no connection to each other just didn't create the story I was looking for. I would love to see some of these tales expanded. Overall, this just wasn't worth the time.

Series with diminishing returns
The original Black and White is an excellent collection of short Batman stories. The stories varied in quality to some extent but the general standard was quite high. The sequels feel like a failed attempt to recapture that magic in some ways and just don't hold up to the same standard. Still, there are some highlights here that make reading worthwhile for fans of Batman or the artists and writers involved.

Not as good as vol1
Series plateaued. It's not that this isn't a good series, it's great, but it's not reaching the highs of the first volume.

A great series of graphic novels
A great series of graphic novels, written and illustrated by some of the best in the business. Guaranteed to be loved by all batman fans out there. Go on multiple journeys with the Dark Knight as he battles a gallery of rogues

Some diamonds in the rough
Nowhere near the quality of volumes 1 or 2 but some decent tales here. Much better than volume 4
