  Batman: Of Two Worlds is a flex for this entire creative team. Matt Fraction and Scott Snyder have crafted stories starring two Bat Boys who couldn’t be more different in style and tone. But their ethos, their indomitable will, and all-around badassery are intact, and we are much better off with both of them in our lives. Read Full Review

  It's more of a gateway for new readers than an essential for longtime fans, but for anyone who has a remote interest in the Bat in whatever version, this is a simple, fun read. Read Full Review

  Batman of Two Worlds isn't essential reading, but it is recommended for any Batman fan—original or Absolute. The two stories, written by the two current Batman writers, explore the yin and yang between the two most important Batman titles in comics right now, highlighting both the differences and similarities between the two Batmen. Both stories work well together, and they do a fantastic job separating Absolute Batman's approach from the original Batman's. The one thing that will stand out to any reader after putting down Batman of Two Worlds is that Batman is much more flexible than the mainstream audience thinks. Kudos to Fraction and Snyder.
