I have heard it said that every writer has a Batman story they want to tell. Only a few get to tell them. And sadly not all of them are great. This week we're reading three stories from writers not usually associated with Batman, Harlan Ellison, Eddie Campbell and David Lapham. And, well, none of these really are going down as central to the canon.

The Night of Thanks, But No Thanks (Detective Comics V.1 # 567)

Gotham Emergency (Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight # 200)

City of Crime (Detective Comics V.1 # 800-808,811-814)
