"Batman: Shadow of the Bat, Annual 2"

WORTH CONSUMING!

This issue is very similar to a Superman: The Animated Series episode in which an alternate timeline Superman becomes a tyrannical force who’s been poisoned by Luthor after an accident kills Lois Lane.

Now just replace Superman with Batman and Luthor with Scarecrow and there you have it. Though this is an oft-too used plot device, the art was stunning and the plot was quite good. I liked the ending especially, it had an old EC Comics horror story morality play ending that made those stories so gosh darn good.
