Batman : Child of Dreams


Drawn in classic manga style, but with a hint more reality than most manga action graphic novels, Child of Dreams wisely tangles Batman and Bruce Wayne in a conspiracy with ambitious journalists from Japan. Taking place both in Gotham and later in Japan, Child of Dreams introduces a new love interest for Bruce Wayne while asserting Batman's influence on other cultures. Batman is not just a revered hero in the states, but has rabid fans in other countries. In fact, it's Batman fandom that brings enterprising young reporter Yuko Yagi to Gotham City in hopes of an exclusive interview with the Dark Detective.Yuko gets more than she bargained for with the trip. A group of pill-popping psychos are being mysteriously transformed into carbon-copies of Batman's greatest foes and Yuko is trapped in the middle. It will take the combined might and brains of Batman and Bruce Wayne to solve the mystery and keep Yuko from harm.
