"The Night of Thanks But No Thanks" tells the story of a "special
night for Batman!" as Batman's attempts to help his fellow Gothamites
are met with a rather different reaction then he is used to.
This issue is result of a fifteen year old promise to former Batman
editor Julius Schwartz to write a Batman script. It finally appears
in the last issue of Detective to be edited by Len Wein before
Denny O'Neil took over as editor, taking the book into the grim
and gritty area started by The Dark Knight Returns which
has continued to the present day. |
