SUMMARY

In the 2000s, a celebrated comic book creator made his return to Batman, a character he was once considered responsible for reinvigorating. Initially met with much rejoicing from the fandom, the mood turned sour when the actual limited series was delivered and proved to be a poorly written, confusing, barely coherent tale that seemed to be less about Batman, and more about the author’s various hangups. The ensuing series would go down in history as an object of mockery, epitomizing so-bad-it’s-good, and serving as a profound illustration of how even once beloved creators sometimes go completely off the rails. No, we’re not talking about Frank Miller’s All-Star Batman and Robin today. This is the other unhinged Batman limited series from a once beloved creator: Neal Adams’ Batman: Odyssey. And it is a trip, in more ways than one.
