3. Batman: Castle of the Bat
“…were the Frankenstein Monster?”
In Castle of the Bat, a young Bruce Wayne is driven absolutely nutterbutters insane by the death of his parents, and decides to build a Frankenstein Bat-monster out of the corpse of his father.
THAT IS AN AMAZING IDEA LET ME THROW SO MUCH MONEY AT IT.
Plus, it was written by Jack C. Harris, who I know from his excellent work on The Ray. I don't know what to say about this other than that it has an amazing plot.
Crazy-pants Dr. Bruce Wayne is just fantastic. There's nothing I love more than an insane premise that a comic book absolutely commits to in spite of itself. Plus, this is the second comic on this list to end with a Batman burning up in a crumbling castle/mansion, so weird pattern recognition on that front.
