The Batman Adventures: Mad Love and Other Stories by Paul Dini

3.0

Rating: 3.5 stars
Not the best comic book I've read; it was a book I picked up from the library out of impulse- I had felt a yearning to revisit some good childhood memories and as a kid growing up watching the Batman: Animated series I wanted to experience another version of that as an adult. It was a quick read and I enjoyed the artwork and thought the coloring was beautiful. As expected the plots were not the greatest; a bit awkwardly paced and shallow in certain parts but that does not mean it was a bad read. It simply was what it was. I do want to point out the fact that it was surprisingly heavy in innuendo and had a tad more instances of "male gaze" pin-up panels of the female characters. I get it; it was the 90s but still some of was really in poor taste. Also surprised the writers were able to get away with some of cursing in the comic book but hey freedom of speech.
