In France, there was a book in the 90's called Batman Magazine which lasted 38 issues. Issues 1-30 were stories from The Batman Adventures and The Batman and Robin Adventures, but issues 31-38 were converted to a new format:
One story (4 pages)
Illustrated Novel (4 pages)
Games (8 pages)
One story from Superman & Batman Magazine (6 pages)

The 4 pages story has no credits at all, but it's done in a perfect Bruce Timm Style. Same thing for the illustrated novel. Do you have any idea?

Here some images from Batman Magazine #35 (May 1997):
 
By chance do you have any further details on the issue itself? Creative team details could be hidden somewhere in the front or back in the indicia.
 
The magazine was called I Love To Read BATMAN here in the UK/Ireland. I believe it originated here with Redan publishing:

It eventually became I Love to Read BATMAN & SUPERMAN:

The writer and artist duo were definitely credited and I have a ton of the magazines from when I was young. When I get the chance, I'll check them and maybe even try to get some scans of the art, etc.

EDIT: The writer was Dan Abnett and the artist was Jimmy Hansen. Not much on the artist, but I think the writer has done some extensive work for DC Comics (Could be this guy?).

How are you guys planning to celebrate the 20th anniversary of 1-31-2007 next year?

Those doing the pyramid burger on YouTube are doing it wrong. Let it cook until it's well done because I've seen people doing it and trying it before spitting it after realising that it's raw.
I have another theory as for why Johnny Bravo is neglected by CN nowadays. Putting aside the basic concept, it's the retools that made the show chaotic.
