Very true, but there are also the sanitized versions for the parents who don't want their kids to know the wolf ate grandma.

They were the bee's knees.
While I could get them, I wasn't reading Batman or Detective. Pretty much got ALL m'Bats fix from them. Damn good Batman stories, mostly done-in-one.

I agree wholeheartedly. They had appropriate drama, heart, and humor. They were mostly well done artwise and took some wonderful risks with the characters, particularly after the show had ended.

Absolutely. Paul Dini or Dan Slott with John Byrne drawing would be ideal.

The thread maker brought up Supergirl: Adventures in the 8th grade. I don't think Supergirl needs to be in junior high so kids can enjoy it. It seems like All-Ages is really meant for 5-10 year olds, and the mainstream DCU and MU is for 30 and up.

I mean that the regular lineup should be all ages. The current "All Ages" titles from Marvel haven't been that good. They seem to be writing down to their audience.

And I know that the Timmverse was aimed at an all ages market. That doesn't mean it's going to reach that demographic. The !mpact line from DC was aimed at kids and most of the letter column was filled by middle aged readers.

I bought my 8 year old nephew a Marvel Adventures Spider-man comic, and he said he wanted "the real Spiderman" that's in Civil War.

Another vote for Batman Adventures, Gotham Adventures, Batman and Robin Adventures; while they were published, I needed no other (and usually BOUGHT no other) Batbooks: great stories, great characterization, beautiful artwork... well worth getting in whatever collections they're in.

The version I told my two-year-old last night had the wolf stuff grandma in the closet, and then she burst back out at the end and kicked him in the rear.
