Book description
Bob Kane's insights into Batman by Tom Andrae.
Why read it?
1 author picked Batman & Me as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
OK, I have to say this upfront: a lot of comic-book aficionados don’t care much for Bob Kane, Batman’s co-creator. He took too much of the credit for coming up with the Caped Crusader, at the expense of writer Bill Finger. And there are details in the autobiography that seem to stretch the truth. But I wanted to get Kane’s perspective on Batman and his development over the years. As a bonus, the book has complete color reproductions of several early Batman adventures.
From Michael's list on helping to rekindle a love of Batman.
