Batman: Noël is an original graphic novel written and illustrated by Lee Bermejo, who previously did the artwork for Joker. It is based on Charles Dickens' classic novel A Christmas Carol and features characters from both Dickens and the Batman mythos. Like Joker, the story is narrated by one of the Clown Prince's henchmen.

Plot

Batman must come to terms with his past, present and future as he battles villains from the campy 1960s to the dark and brooding menaces of today, while exploring what it means to be the hero that he is.

Reception

Rob Patey of Ain't It Cool News called Batman: Noël "an instant classic," complementing Bermejo's "kinetic artwork" and his ability to keep the story grounded while deftly transcending reality. ^[1] Shawn Morrissey of Outer Realm Comics was less impressed saying that it "is a good read, but it's all thanks to the source material" and that the overly realistic art ruins the comic book fantasy.^[2]
