As such, the actual answer to the story is to ignore the choices entirely, as following the game as intended will kill Batman.

Batman: Black and White (Comic Book) / int_1ec3eb0a	comment	Take Our Word for It: "The Riddle"note from Batman Black and White Volume 2; not to be confused with the story from Issue #5 of the 2020 run revolves around The Riddler trying to steal a document reputed to contain Lewis Carroll's one true punchline to the Orphaned Setup Raven Riddle from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. When he gets his hands on the document, he reads it, laughs, and says, "Brilliant! No wonder he never published this!" The punchline itself is not revealed to the audience. And at the end it turns out Batman replaced the actual solution for his own, or to add insult to injury, convinced Riddler he had done so, spoiling the entire thing for him. The backstory of "The Black and White Bandit" revolves around a painting that's hailed as a masterpiece with sublime use of colors. It would be impossible to show the painting in its full glory in a Deliberately Monochrome story with art that leans toward the cartoony end of the realism scale, and no attempt is made to do so. Mostly we see reaction shots of people looking at it, and in one panel it's visible in the background and only rendered as an undetailed rectangle.

Gotham City" features a tourist postcard with smiling and waving Batman depicted on it, depicted in a cartoony style similar to Super Friends, in contrast to the gritty depiction in the actual story.

Batman: Black and White (Comic Book) / int_31f7c194	comment	Super Window Jump: In "The Hunt", Batman crashes through a large window to break up a robbery, in a splash panel taking up half the page. At the climax of "Devil's Trumpet", Batman crashes through a large window to catch a murderer. In the Animated Actors story "A Black and White World", Batman comes crashing down through a glass ceiling while The Joker is mid-speech. As they head to the canteen after the scene wraps, Joker points out that Batman always gets the big dramatic splash pages, while Batman admits he wishes that he got to make speeches. "Batman with Robin the Boy Wonder" begins with Batman and Robin swinging through a large window to capture a group of gangsters.

"Batman with Robin the Boy Wonder" is drawn in the style of a Golden Age Batman comic and is written accordingly as well. Batman and Robin smile throughout the story, deliver wisecracks and best the villains via a clever scheme. The first page is a splash panel that looks like an old comic book cover, with the title appearing in the same style it used to on actual covers in those days. "Urban Renewal" features some nostalgic flashbacks by characters to the "old days", and the flashbacks are drawn in the Golden Age style as opposed to the more realistic present-day scenes.

Batman: Black and White (Comic Book) / int_99298c71	type	Better to Die than Be Killed
Batman: Black and White (Comic Book) / int_99298c71	comment	Better to Die than Be Killed: In "Fat City", Batman is trying to capture a grease monster that sucks the fat out of people. Chloe Willow, Gotham's fattest woman (who's so obese they have to knock a hole in her apartment wall and lift her out with a crane), agrees to act as bait for a trap. The original plan is to haul her out of the way at the last moment, but when it becomes apparent that won't be possible, she volunteers for a Heroic Sacrifice, explaining to Batman that she's already dying and she'd rather go quickly doing something useful. Another, more villainous example comes in a story narrated by "Do-Boy," a small-time thug who is rising up the Penguin's ranks. He's determined to go out in a blaze of glory by standing up to Batman, and when it seems like all is lost, he jumps for a window, reasoning that at least he can say he died rather than let the Caped Crusader take him to prison, or worse. Unfortunately, Batman's no-killing rule kicks in, and he saves Do-Boy—though it's clear that the Dark Knight knew what the crook was trying to do and takes special delight in cheating him of his dream. A similar example occurs in "To Beat the Batman", centring around a small-time crook and repeat offender whose greed and devotion to a Gold Digger girlfriend had gotten him beaten up by Batman and sent to jail three times, with the beatings more severe and the sentences longer each time. He eventually finds himself a goon for the Joker during a bank robbery, and he ends up shooting a security guard to death on impulse. He's able to escape when Batman crashes the robbery, but knowing that Batman will find him again and he'll probably get the death sentence this time, he commits suicide to spare himself the fate.

The initial plan is to pull Chloe away and throw a phosphorous bomb at the beast, but when it attacks early, Chloe grabs the bomb herself and tells Batman he needs to leave. She also admits that she's dying of a heart condition but wants to go out helping the city she calls home by killing the monster. Batman calls Chloe a "brave woman" and salutes her as he flees, and her choice saves all of Gotham.

Batman: Black and White (Comic Book) / int_b034d333	comment	"Two of a Kind" is a grim Film Noir-ish story with art by Bruce Timm in the cartoony style he developed for Batman: The Animated Series. (On the other hand, some of the events are so gruesome that it probably wouldn't have been allowed in a more realistic art style.)

After the Joker has got out of the facility, attempted mass murder, been recaptured by Batman, and been returned to the asylum, the same spokesman appears on television again to assure the public that they've upgraded the security and this time the Joker is definitely going to stay put.

The more wicked the act, the more righteous they will be afterward by comparison, according to him. With this warped mindset, the main character is able to easily consider performing acts such as kidnapping an innocent child and leave them to die tied up in a sewer or murdering Batman, convinced he can continue to live his life as a truly "good" person after the crime without a shred of remorse, guilt, or any consideration of the consequences. He even addresses his fantasy of his post-crime life as "blameless".

In "Batsman: Swarming Scourge of the Underworld", one of Gotham's novelty giant object buildings is a homage to Dr. Seuss's cartoons that codified the Cartoon Bug-Sprayer.

Then, on the final page, there's a wider view of the city which reveals it to be a dictatorship with tanks and soldiers on every street, and no dark corners to hide in. (But wait — there is one shadow... a familiar pointy-eared silhouette...)

Batman figures it out in the (Saint) nick of time and stops the hitman just before he reaches the house — then puts the costume on and does the Santa appearance himself. The little girl declares it the best Christmas ever, and Santa-Bruce replies that it's the best Christmas he's had in a long time himself.

He's determined to go out in a blaze of glory by standing up to Batman, and when it seems like all is lost, he jumps for a window, reasoning that at least he can say he died rather than let the Caped Crusader take him to prison, or worse. Unfortunately, Batman's no-killing rule kicks in, and he saves Do-Boy—though it's clear that the Dark Knight knew what the crook was trying to do and takes special delight in cheating him of his dream.

He eventually finds himself a goon for the Joker during a bank robbery, and he ends up shooting a security guard to death on impulse. He's able to escape when Batman crashes the robbery, but knowing that Batman will find him again and he'll probably get the death sentence this time, he commits suicide to spare himself the fate.
