Why read it?
1 author picked Batman as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Like the Greenberger book, this official history of Batman from DC Comics is essential for any fan. Unlike Kane’s book, this account gives much more credit to Bill Finger as Batman’s creator and highlights many of the writers and illustrators who followed, shaping the Caped Crusader's image over the years. The color reproductions and photos—including ones of collectibles and movie stills—alone are worth the price of this great book.
From Michael's list on helping to rekindle a love of Batman.
