This is also a big book and weighty probably one of the biggest on my shelf! But this is great to pull out and read and is a great show piece to bore your family and friends to death about your love for Batman! The pull outs, posters and re prints of key issues inside are the kind of things that make this a must for the Batman nerd. And has an excellent introduction! Review: THIS IS HUGE - 400 Pages - THE DEFINITIVE HISTORY OF THE DARK KNIGHT... OMG! This is a must for all Batman Fans. It cocers the comics (upto Rebirth), books, cartoons, TV serials, computer games and the movies. It will need an update soon as it does not cover "The Synder Cut" of The Justice League nor The Batman movie starring Robert Pattinson. This is going to keep me busy for a few months. Note this book is 400 Pages not 246 as quoted in the description. Its worth every penny. Will certainly give you a workout as it weighs a bit too. If you are a fan of Batman, this is a "Must Buy".

Great gift!
I bought this as a gift for a friend, and while I was a tad annoyed it did not come wrapped in plastic (in case any of the extremely cool pop outs fell out), it did give me a chance to look at this book and wow. I am super impressed. This book is huge and filled to the brim with detail. The gift recipient also loved it!

A must have for any fan of the cape crusader.
This book is excellent from beginning to end analysing the dark knight history throughout its different iteration on different platforms, the info and research is great and it definitely exceeded my expectations, if you’re a fan of the Batman get your copy now!

Livre bien emballé et conforme à la description.
Le livre était bien protégé dans un plastique. Il y'a néanmoins un coin légèrement écrasé, mais cela ne se voit presque pas. Le livre a beaucoup plus au fan de Batman a qui je l'ai offert. C'est vraiment une encyclopédie de Batman !
