By Doug Meonch. Cover By Alex Ross.

Although strong and relentless, Batman has no super powers. His powers are his Sherlock Holmes-like abilities of deduction and detection.

Two dozen entries from Batman's "Case Files" are featured. Most are written by Batman himself, but a couple are from the Police Commissioner Gordon, and there are a couple from the Batman's right hand man, Alfred the Butler. Cases range from the puzzling to the bizarre and feature such classic Batman villains as The Joker, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Two-Face. Interspersed among the Case File reports are sidebars that focus on specific kinds of forensic science that Batman uses to solve his cases. There are brief and informative and allow readers to understand why a certain method of detection is chosen in a specific case. Hardcover, 352 pages, Text Only.

1st printing. By Alex M. Wainer. This is a book about the comics genre and language, how these were used to create Batman, and how that character's longevity is largely due to the medium's unique formal qualities. It argues that Batman's core appeal is his mythic nature which allows him to transcend changes in reader tastes, the vicissitudes of the comics industry, and the changing media landscape. It is a study of how the formal aspects of comics are able to evoke uniquely mythic qualities that have made Batman such a long-lived cultural phenomenon. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 208 pages, Text.
