The book got generally positive reviews, with Deb Aoki of About.com rating it with 4 stars. It was made an issue that Chip Kidd got all the credit for Bat-Manga! instead of Jiro Kuwata, however Chip Kidd stated that the book is about the phenomena of Batman in Japan rather than just the manga itself.
