I totally get what Chaykin was aiming for with this book, tackling the still-poignant truth that home-grown fascism is every bit as prevalent as that of foreign despots. It`s the late 1930s and daring industrialist Bruce Wayne masquerades as the Batman at night, fighting against crooked politicians and racist secret societies.

The girls toy aisles aren't our regular ball park but we occasionally like to try something different to our norm. I felt myself getting distracted and even yawning as I had to chore through conversation after conversation. Mostly it was a strong sense of isolationism, letting the radicals and reactionaries of the world destroy each other while America lives in peace.

Bruce with his intellect becomes a self-made millionaire working alongside the Democratic US Government run by FDR.

For the most part, Chaykin's penciling is perhaps one of the saving graces for this trade paperback. Juega en su contra la extensión, pues pudo desarrollarse mejor en dos o tres números en lugar de un one-shot. This Elseworlds tale has it all: political ideology jamming, devilishly handsome Bruce at his playboy best, feline fatale Selina Kyle as a celebrated actress, Batman shaking Hitler's hand, and Alfred as Robin.A nameless protector who failed to defend their charge became chained by guilt, and vowed to never let others suffer for their own weaknesses forevermore. Just as the tragedy is missing so to does this protagonist fill the reasons for his life's mission differently.

Taking tech that hasn't been accepted by the government to wage war on corrupt and virulently criminal elements like Nazis.

As the flames of war ignite Europe, a lone masked vigilante fights a battle on the American homefront to keep a secret weapon from falling into enenmy hands, while sinister figures fan the fires of racism!
