Since Batman comics have been around since 1939, it must get hard to think up original story lines. That, at least, is my conclusion after finishing Batman: King Tut's Tomb, a graphic novel consisting of four Batman stories collected from a variety of years. Here's a nutshell overview of each tale:
- A new villain, dressed as King Tut, is killing off a museum's board of directors. Batman must team up with Riddler to unmask the threat and restore peace to Gotham.
- Batman and Hawkman unite to restore a sacred relic to an alien race of pure energy beings.
- Batman is hypnotized to go back in time and work with Scalphunter to save a medical shipment during the U.S. Civil War.
- Batman works to prevent Joker from destroying a large tract of land outside of Gotham.
The tales were either boring, cookie-cutter, or downright strange. Not much here save for the die-hard Bats fan.
