The Caped Crusade: Batman and the Rise of Nerd Culture by Glen Weldon

4.0

Great overview of Batman and his impact on comics and culture. I really enjoyed the discussion of the idea of Batman vs the character of Batman. The research and information presented was clearly executed with a passion and an an expertise. Unlike many books which follow a chronology of a character or idea, this one clearly built to the argument and then tied pieces of the story to that argument. Too add to the pleasure, the writing was funny, clean and understated. It was like sitting through a lecture and enjoying the fervor of the lecturer. I bet the audio book is a treat to hear.
