Elseworlds: Batman #3
Elseworlds: Batman Vol. 3
In Elseworlds, heroes are taken from their usual settings and put into strange times and places—some that have existed, or might have existed, and others that can’t, couldn’t or shouldn’t exist. The result: stories that make characters who are as familiar as yesterday seem as fresh as tomorrow.
Featuring tales of Batman and Eliot Ness taking on Al Capone, a future league of Batmen protecting the night with an iron fist, a mysterious knight defending Camelot as an armor-clad Bat and a 19th-century Batman entwined in an operatic tale of love, horror and obsession.
Now, for the first time, Batman’s Elseworlds tales are featured in a new graphic novel collection. Collects Batman: Brotherhood of the Bat, Batman: Dark Knight of the Round Table #1-2, Batman: KnightGallery, Batman: Masque and Batman: Scar of the Bat!

About the author
Doug Moench
1,990 books113 followersDoug Moench, is an American comic book writer notable for his Batman work and as the creator of Black Mask, Moon Knight and Deathlok. Moench has worked for DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Dark Horse Comics and many other smaller companies; he has written hundreds of issues of many different comics, and created dozens of characters, such as Moon Knight. In 1973, Moench became the de facto lead writer for the Marvel black-and-white magazine imprint Curtis Magazines. He contributed to the entire runs of Planet of the Apes, Rampaging Hulk (continuing on the title when it changed its name to The Hulk!) and Doc Savage, while also serving as a regular scribe for virtually every other Curtis title during the course of the imprint's existence. Moench is perhaps best known for his work on Batman, whose title he wrote from 1983–1986 and then again from 1992–1998. (He also wrote the companion title Detective Comics from 1983–1986.)
Moench is a frequent and longtime collaborator with comics artist Paul Gulacy. The pair are probably best known for their work on Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu, which they worked on together from 1974–1977. They also co-created Six from Sirius, Slash Maraud, and S.C.I. Spy, and have worked together on comics projects featuring Batman, Conan the Barbarian and James Bond.
Moench has frequently been paired with the artist and inker team of Kelley Jones and John Beatty on several Elseworlds Graphic Novels and a long run of the monthly Batman comic.

A mixed bag of Batman Elseworld stories from the 90's. Batman mixes it up with Al Capone, King Arthur, and Phantom of the Opera. The blurb lists 5 books but Knight Gallery is just the costume designs from Brotherhood of the Bat.

Nice collection of alternate world Batman stories. I enjoy seeing a familiar character placed in new settings and times. Good art and writing. Recommended

revisar obras antiguamente veneradas es duro. como en este caso, uno se da cuenta de que lo que parecía genial eran apenas chispazos medianamente ejecutados. por supuesto, sigue habiendo algunas historias buenas, como la de batman/eliot ness o batman/el rey arturo, tan absurdas como divertidas, pero hay otras que de plano no la mueven. igual sigue siendo una lectura, como mínimo, entretenida.

Pass on it
Not very interesting for a Batman/Elseworld book. Phantom of the Opera, Knights of the round table, Eliot Ness, and post-apocalypse yet still all kind of boring and slow. I would check for another collection over this one. There are good Elseworlds stories, but none of them are in this book.

A mixed bag of stories but I enjoy the concept. The art brings it up another star for me especially the Mike Grell story though all the art is of a high quality. Batman versus Al Capone was always going to be a highlight.

Some decent tales
Elseworlds has always been my favorite of DCs imaginary stories. These, the third volume to feature Batman are all enjoyable.

Decent, but not great, stories of "Batman". Some of the stories were better than others. None were horrible but none were great.
