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

4.0

I was surprised at how delighted I was at Weldon's writing — the arch and witty style never got old. The only time the author's voice grated was in his relentless mockery of those he classifies as "nerds." Although I think that fanboys who decry any change from their personal conception of Batman are absurd, Weldon seems to have a special hatred of them, and I think spends a little too much time mocking. However, this is just a quibble — The Caped Crusade is a well-written and wonderfully personal account of Batman and superhero history, carried by Weldon's incisive wit.
