Description

For the first time, the entire scope and history of Batman's arsenal—from the cowl and Batmobile to the Batcave and the Tumbler—are documented in this encyclopedic chronicle by Matt MacNabb. It traces Batman's equipment and the unique gizmos he employs to keep Gotham safe, defining him as a superhero who is as human as the rest of us. Survey the many iterations of the Batman legend since Detective Comics #27 in May 1939: from the original avenger to the campy crusader of the '60s TV series to the dark antihero of the graphic novels and the recent Dark Knight films. What remains constant through the decades? His gear—the Batman arsenal. When the Bat signal hits the night sky, the world knows who's been called. To really know Batman, you must know his material. You think you know Batman? You don't know the tenth of it. Matt MacNabb unravels the how and why of each significant piece of the Batman toolbox, along with intimate behind-the-scenes stories and commentary by the people who designed them. They are Batman's secret pit crew, swapping the Bat tires and equipping the Bat utility belt. Most of them grew up as super fans of the comics, the TV shows, and the movies; they got the lucky break to contribute to the legend. Contents include: - Entire history of the Batman legend, in all media - In-depth interviews with the people behind the Bat cosmos - Expert analysis of the Bat legend by the author and other Bat-gurus - Exhaustive, intimate catalog of Batman's crime-fighting tools - Comparison of the various Bat incarnations, from comic book to film and beyond - The Bat foes from the Joker to Bane, with expert analysis and commentary
