I return to the incredible Batman the Animated Series novelizations and finally get to review all four in publication order. Geary Gravel did a remarkable job at adapting multiple episodes into cohesive new books. his Mask of the Phantasm novelization expands upon the action of the film and has some nice linkages to his other three volumes, making the four flow perfectly into one another. The real draw of these is their focus on character, expanding the iconic world of BTAS, crafting excellent bridging material to unite separate episodes and crucially expanding upon the texture of the stories to make them feel even more lived in.
These are easily the hidden gem of BTAS. The Adventures comics are lovely but never have the page count to get to this level of nuance. It's a shame the series was ended after only four books. Sadly all four are long out of print and fetch higher prices on the used market. I had been searching to no avail for decent used copies of the other two books. Amazingly, Mr. Gravel saw my previous video on the first two books and graciously sent me these copies. This video was entirely made possible by his generosity.
