Tony “G-Man” Gerrero does it again!
The Comic Vine contributor has gotten a hold of an early copy of the Batman files and is taken the time to review it. He goes on every aspect from presentation, to content and gives you a thorough view of what this is going to be like. (By the way…I had a chance to check an early copy of the BATMAN FILES at COMIC CON and it is everything Tony says, just an amazing book from cover to content, and it is extremely well written and beautifully illustrated). Definitely a must for any Batman fan. Here is an excerpt of the review (even a video) and If you want to see more, click on the link at the end.
