review:
'Batman/The Shadow: The Murder Geniuses' by Scott Snyder and Steve Orlando is a crossover title with two vengeance filled heroes, and in a rare turn, Batman comes across as the less violent one.

Batman investigates a murder in Gotham City and it turns out to be Lamont Cranston. Following the trail leads him to the Shadow. Batman has never heard of the Shadow, but he learns that this mysterious person may have been a part of his life for a long time. The Shadow is hunting a mysterious being known as the Stag. Soon the Stag is teaming up with Batman's enemies, forcing Batman and the Shadow into an uneasy alliance.

I liked the story quite a bit. They managed to figure out a way for the Shadow to exist in modern day Gotham City and in the Batman universe in a very clever way. Alfred's past also has a bearing on this story, which I found interesting. I wasn't as crazy about the art, but the story was well written and kept me turning pages.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
