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".
