    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

    Hunting the Dark Knight: Twenty-First Century Batman SC (2012 I.B. Tauris) 1-1ST

    1st printing. Written by Will Brooker. Will Brookers in depth investigation into Batman Begins and The Dark Knight uncovers the complex relationship between popular films, audiences, and producers in our age of media convergence. He addresses a myriad of questions raised by these films: did Batman Begins end when The Dark Knight began? Does its story include Burger Kings Dark Whopper, the Gotham Knight DVD, or the Why So Serious viral marketing campaign? Is it separate from the parallel narratives of the Arkham Asylum videogame, the monthly comic books, the animated series and the graphic novels? Can the brightly campy incarnations of the Batman ever be fully repressed by The Dark Knight, or are they an intrinsic part of the character? In other words, do all of these various manifestations feed into a single Batman metanarrative? Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8-in., 256 pages, text only.
