The second and last volume of the fine Batman Adventures series(it was replaced by a series of Batman Strikes! digests), featuring some more excellent Tales of the Bat:"Shot to the Heart" by Dan Slott, Ty Templeton, and Terry Beatty
"Liar, Liar" by Templeton, Rick Burchett, and Beatty
"Playing with Matches" by Slott, Burchett, and Beatty
"Two Minute Warning" by Templeton, Burchett, and Beatty
"A Bat In The House" by Slott, Burchett, and Beatty
"The First Time" by Templeton, Burchett, and Beatty
"Masquerade" by Slott, Burchett, and Beatty
"Face to Face" by Templeton, Burchett, and Beatty
the uber-fun "Deathtrap A-Go-Go!" by Gabe Soria and Dean Haspiel
"The Couch" by Vito Delsante and Haspiel
...while I know these stories are intended for young kids, I think the overall quality of these tales belies the conventional wisdom that you can't write short superhero stories anymore. Every mainstream superhero book seems to feature six-issue-long story arcs, while some of these tales are barely eight pages long.
