This was a very interesting book, especially for fans of DC Comics. Written in Batman's point of view, it shares his theories on his metahuman allies and enemies. His paranoia shines through, as he is constantly theorizing how he might be able to take down Justice League members like Superman, Cyborg, and Martian Manhunter. At times the theories could drag a little, as some of them are very much written like an anatomy textbook, but that IS what the book is supposed to be. Ming Doyle's illustrations are fantastic, and he really gets to be creative with the cross sections. Overall a really interesting book and I would look forward to a sequel.

Anatomy of a Metahuman is a gorgeously illustrated and beautifully written report-style book on the scientific basis DC's metahuman character's abilities, speculation about physiology, and potential weaknesses. This is a book that I would recommend or gift to someone.
