"Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?" Preview Online

The first four pages of Neil Gaiman's story "Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader?" are online.

Gaiman is pretty universally regarded as a comic book genius, but he's had a pretty odd relationship with DC in regards to their superhero properties. His Green Lantern/Superman crossover, Legend of the Green Flame went a weird, roundabout way toward publication, and even though his Sandman series is regarded as a classic, DC is still more likely to assign him to characters you'd see in the Outsiders than any of the people you'd see in the Justice League.

So everybody's curious to see how it goes, including you, I'll bet. So go feed your curiosity.

It involves cats.
