    1st printing. By E. Paul Zehr. Battling bad guys. High-tech hideouts. The gratitude of the masses. Who at some point in their life hasn't dreamed of being a superhero? Impossible, right? Or is it? Possessing no supernatural powers, Batman is the most realistic of all the superheroes. His feats are achieved through rigorous training and mental discipline, and with the aid of fantastic gadgets. Drawing on his training as a neuroscientist, kinesiologist, and martial artist, E. Paul Zehr explores the question: could a mortal ever become Batman? A fun foray of escapism grounded in sound science, Becoming Batman provides the background for attaining the realizable - though extreme - level of human performance that would allow you to be a superhero.

    Bill the Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman HC (2012 Charlesbridge) 1-1ST

    1st printing.

    Written by Marc Tyler Nobleman. Art and cover by Ty Templeton.

    Every Batman story is marked with the words "Batman created by Bob Kane." But that isn't the whole truth.

    A struggling writer named Bill Finger was involved from the beginning. Bill helped invent Batman, from concept to costume to character. He dreamed up Batman's haunting origins and his colorful nemeses. Despite his brilliance, Bill worked in obscurity. It was only after his death that fans went to bat for Bill, calling for acknowledgment that he was the co-creator of Batman.

    Based on original research, Bill the Boy Wonder is the first-ever book about the unsung man behind the Dark Knight.

    Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 48 pages, Text (with full color illustrations and photos).

    NOTE: "This is an absolute must read for any comic book fan, writer, and artist. Afterwards, seek out the documentary Batman and Bill. Here, the heartbreaking story of Bill Finger finally gets a much deserved happy ending." - Odinson, mycomicshop.com Archivist

    1st printing. By Glen Weldon. Since his creation, Batman has been many things: a two-fisted detective; a planet-hopping gadabout; a campy Pop-art sensation; a pointy-eared master spy; and a grim and gritty ninja of the urban night. How we perceive Batman's character, whether he's delivering dire threats in a raspy Christian Bale growl or trading blithely homoerotic double-entendres with partner Robin on the comics page, speaks to who we are and how we wish to be seen by the world. It's this endlessly mutable quality that has made him so enduring. And it's Batman's fundamental nerdiness - his gadgets, his obsession, his oath, even his lack of superpowers - that uniquely resonates with his fans who feel a fiercely protective love for the character. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 336 pages, PC. Cover price $26.00.
