I felt myself getting distracted and even yawning as I had to chore through conversation after conversation.

For the most part, Chaykin's penciling is perhaps one of the saving graces for this trade paperback.

This was a time when liberals had their fascist boogeymen, who did hold a level of influence but not as viciousness or success.

The story consists of a version of Batman active during the late 1930s who combats against the White Legion, a stand-in for the Ku Klux Klan. Set in an imaginary nineteen thirtiea, Batman is reinvented as a self made millionaire liberal whose designs are coverted by Nazi sympathisers.He also lacks his canon counterpart's duality obsession beyond a mention of Pewtie's "2-For-1" deal. As chance would have it, beings exist in this world willing to barter with desperate souls for a taste of their unnatural might.

All in all, Batman: Dark Allegiances is an interesting experiment of merging a Batman story with the Pre-World War II era, which has Bruce Wayne as Batman trying to stop a plan that would force the world into another World War.

I totally get what Chaykin was aiming for with this book, tackling the still-poignant truth that home-grown fascism is every bit as prevalent as that of foreign despots. The "Elseworlds" series took existing comic characters and rewrote them in different settings and "what if. But, from nowhere, a mysterious Bat-Man appears to battle democracy's foes and possibly to save the world. The familiar bevy of villains make the rounds here, but as fascist political leaders rather that 'name' villains. Adolf Hitler himself turns up late in the piece and the final confrontation, involving Batman, Joker, Hitler and Roosevelt is, quite frankly, morally perverse in a delightful way.
