The Caped Crusade: Batman and the Rise of Nerd Culture by Glen Weldon
3.0
the crusade continues...
Batman thru the ages. Nice survey of Batman (and the "Batman Family ") in the worlds of comics, movies, and television. ...and the Rise of Nerd Culture is part of the title, so there are some lengthy discussions about how The Batman is seen in the eyes of what the author calls the "nerds" and the "normals". These two groups are brought up again and again, and a comparison/ contrast between them is a major theme of the book.
