Stumbled accross a new book in Borders today that I quickly snapped up--

It's a must-have for Bat-fans. It features many Japanese Batman comicbooks, photos of various Batman merchandise and Japanese actors portraying the Dynamic Duo, and other weird goodies. It's so odd and surreal, it's like a Batman comic from an alternate version of Earth or something. Truly odd, but very, very charming.

That looks cool. I'm just a regular appreciator of Batman (more than a "civilian," I'd say), but I'm also a Japanophile and a comic history buff.

Let us know if the stories are good once you've read them, Hanzo.

Will do; the weirdness and art alone are worht the purchase. This thing is a gold-mine and a "must buy" IMO.
