Batman may be the biggest name in Gotham City, but there are lots of other heroesand villains... In one tale Terry McGinnis hunts a murderer throughout the streets of Neo-Gotham. In another magical adventure, Zatanna and Batman come together every year the two to defeat an evil curse. This year they fail, and the world is in peril because of it. And that's just the beginning of the twists and turns collected in Batman: Urban Legends Vol. 4!

A more pleasing, jam-packed grab bag than the last volume or just more up my alley?
As opposed to feeling disconnected from some of the material, I actually was engaged in each story, so that's definitely an improvement over the last volume!
Hunter or Hunted: love the more art than words action moment, the limited colour palette 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? The Executive Game: I have minimal exposure to Damian as Batman in the future, I'm afraid this wasn't enough pages to form much of an opinion, relentlessly dark
The Batman with No Name: Bleak but interesting far future idea
Little Pyg, Little Pyg : creepy and colourful with Batman as the big bad wolf, I dig it.
Death Wish: Again, I'm pretty lacking in Lady Shiva lore, but I love that parental perspective with Batman about Cassandra Cain,
5d
Robotswithpersonality 3/? I love her.

Birds of Prey Memory Lane: felt like it had more to say, though there's no indicator of a follow up story

Down the Rabbit Hole: suffers from the - 'see the conclusion in this other comic book!' - that I hate - what is here is pretty intense in underlining how the social security net fails people with different mental faculties/processing from getting the help they should be eligible for/desperately need (and then there's the who
5d
Robotswithpersonality 4/? le being a toy of a supervillain means special health care, and the prison industrial complex making its own rules), I hope it makes as strong a statement in its ending as it did in that beginning/middle.

Wight Witch in Stigma: had a strong Winter Soldier flavour, though it's possible that ending was darker than Barnes' fate - the art and colour are by different people but remained me of Gotham by Midnight - distinctive, little spooky,

Robotswithpersonality 5/? smeary yet detailed where it counts

Eternity in Gotham: speaking of Gotham by Midnight, yet another character with a bit more of a paranormal flair, could see looking up Christopher Freeman/Eternity in his own comics.

The Bold Batman team-ups are definitely what I was looking for in this series:
5d
Robotswithpersonality 6/? Flash in Cold Shoulders is heartwarming, Aquaman in The Sea Beyond is reverent of life while Mera is taking nobody's shit, Black Adam in State Craft raises an eternal point Batman struggles with and I love delving into, the Question in Right Answer, Wrong Question and Plasticman in Bending the Rules episodes were pretty silly but sweet too, moments of redemption and improving superhero relations, Alfred in Some Things Remain, I of course, 5d
Robotswithpersonality 7/7 loved.
Demon Etrigan in Blood In and Blood Out was just bonkers, I am not ready for the deep lore that seems to come with the truly out there supernatural characters

On His Worst Nights, a cheeky way to end the volume, Riddler getting the best of him for a moment is a nice change of pace.

All hail the Cover Gallery as a comic book institution - such a lovely way to get bonus art, often a space where the artist obviously got to put in more time than a regular panel would permit.
Always impressed when a golden glow is accomplished with no metallic pigment. Kudos Sebastian Fiumara.

TieDyeDude So cool! 3d

Aw, Barry, being super fast doesn't always help with microfilm. Thank you for keeping the records tidy. ☺️
