For decades Batman (both in his own title and Detective Comics) has tackled all sorts of social issues and deep psychological dilemmas. How much more deep and disturbing can you get than Batman’s origin and his bizarre Rogue’s Gallery of Villains?
In Batman And The Classics author Michael D. Nichols and McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers examine the echoes of mythology, literature and philosophy in the (Batman) comics and films.
Batman is a character of many faces: detective, troubled vigilante, father figure, leader, master of deception, a man conflicted and torn between justice and vengeance and so much more.
In this fascinating book some of Batman’s most famous cases are compared to the themes in classic literature stories and characters. It’s a unique perspective on the Dark Knight and sheds a whole new light on the persona of the world’s greatest detective.
John 14:2 - In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
